Web Accessibility
Boise State values inclusiveness
Boise State values inclusiveness and full access to educational opportunities and benefits.
For this reason the University takes continual steps to increase programmatic and physical access to people with disabilities, and incorporates standards for accessibility into information technologies used throughout the campus community, including the Boise State WordPress sites.
Web accessibility is the inclusive practice of removing barriers
Web accessibility is the inclusive practice of removing barriers that prevent interaction with, or access to websites, by people with disabilities. When sites are correctly designed, developed and edited, all users have equal access to information and functionality.

Web Accessibility Challenge
Boise State has an ambitious goal for 2019. Create the most accessible, inclusive website ever! But we can’t do this alone. We need you to help make this goal a reality.
Challenge yourself to review images, documents, media, headings, and links to ensure they are accessible now and make plans to maintain all future content remains accessible.
