Accessibility Policy

The Department of Forest Science at Texas A&M University has adopted the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 W3C Recommendation 5-May-1999 (WCAG) as the primary guideline to meet the objectives of the agency's Accessibility policy. These guidelines explain how to make Web content accessible to people with disabilities. The guidelines are intended for all Web content developers and site designers. The primary goal is to promote accessibility. However, following them will also make Web content more available to all users (e.g., browser, wireless phone, etc.). These guidelines do not discourage content developers from using images, video, etc., but rather explain how to make multimedia content more accessible to a wide audience.
