The University of Texas at Tyler is committed to making its Web sites accessible to all users and we are working to bring new design features to improve accessibility for users with disabilities. Some of these features we are implementing into our site are described below.
A descriptive text equivalent is provided for images ('alt tags') and other non-text elements, aiding users who listen to the content of the site by using a screen reader, rather than reading the site.
Major reports and other special publications that are made available on the agency's Web site are generally available in html. In some cases we may publish a document using Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). When publishing a document in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF), we will also post an accessible version or a link for simple conversion to HTML.
UT Tyler is committed to making its Web sites compliant with Conformance Level 1 of the World Wide Web Consortium accessibility rating set forth by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). To improve the accessibility of our Web site we test any major redesign with several screen readers and other Web tools. The results of these reviews have been incorporated into the website. The University of Texas at Tyler welcomes comments on how to improve the site's accessibility for users with disabilities. Our Web site development guideline is available for review at the following address http://www.uttyler.edu/styleguide.
