Web Accessibility

What is Web Accessibility?

Web accessibility ensures that everyone, including people with disabilities, can use, navigate, and contribute to our website.

The Americans With Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires public and private colleges and universities to provide academic adjustments to qualified students with disabilities to provide equal opportunity to education and participation in programs.

Websites should be accessible for people with disabilities including visual, auditory, physical, speech, neurological, and cognitive. It is very important to know how people with disabilities use the web so we can meet their needs.

Web accessibility is especially important as interacting with the web has become integral to life at Fordham, from applying to the university to registering for classes to showcasing research. We are working diligently to ensure our website is accessible to all visitors.
