Accessibility self-assessment (WCAG 2.1 AA)
The working self-assessment against WCAG 2.1 Level AA that sits behind the published VPAT: what is verified in code, what the known gaps are, and the process that treats accessibility as a release gate.
What this policy commits us to
- Overall status: partially conformant — an internal code-based review, not a formal third-party audit.
- A formal VPAT 2.5 (international edition) was published on 3 August 2026 as a vendor self-evaluation.
- Verified in code: visible focus styling, extensive ARIA, reduced-motion and text-size preferences, a high-contrast theme, and unrestricted pinch-zoom.
- Known gaps are named openly, including that no assistive-technology testing has been performed yet.
- Accessibility is a release gate for new UI, re-assessed quarterly and before procurement responses.
Controls mapped to this policy
Mapping controls to the policy is how we check adherence. A green dot marks a control that is operating and traceable to evidence; an amber dot marks one that is documented and scheduled but has not run yet.
Standards mappings
Through its controls, this policy maps to the following standards and frameworks. Each entry states our real relationship with the standard.
HECVAT (Higher Education Community Vendor Assessment Toolkit)Higher educationSelf-assessed
A full HECVAT answer pack is maintained and kept current for university procurement, deliberately honest about gaps (no SOC 2 or ISO attestation, no independent penetration test, PITR not enabled). It is a vendor self-assessment, not an externally validated response, backed by a full internal HECVAT-aligned self-audit.

WCAG 2.1 AA (VPAT 2.5, incl. Revised Section 508 and EN 301 549)AccessibilitySelf-assessed
A VPAT 2.5 international-edition accessibility conformance report was published on 3 August 2026: partially conformant, with the unsupported criteria named rather than summarised away. No assistive-technology testing or third-party accessibility audit has been performed yet; an independent audit is offered as a contract milestone.
