1. Our Accessibility Goal

We aim to make our website, learning platform, and course materials accessible to as many people as possible, regardless of ability. We believe that theological education should be available to everyone who feels called to study and serve.

Our target is to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards — an internationally recognized benchmark for web accessibility.

2. Measures We Take

To ensure accessibility, we take the following measures:

3. Academic Accessibility

In addition to website accessibility, we aim to make our academic programs accessible:

• Course Materials: We strive to provide materials in accessible formats
• Recorded Lectures: Where captions are not available, transcripts may be requested
• Assessments: We can provide alternative assessment arrangements for students with documented needs
• Communication: We are open to discussing individual accessibility needs

4. Assistive Technology Support

Our website is designed to work with commonly used assistive technologies, including:

• Screen readers (NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, TalkBack)
• Screen magnifiers
• Speech recognition software
• Alternative keyboards
• Browser accessibility settings

5. Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts, some content may not yet be fully accessible. Known limitations include:

• Some older uploaded documents (PDFs) may not be fully tagged for screen readers
• Some third-party embedded content (videos, payment forms) may not meet all standards
• Live streaming sessions may not always have real-time captions
• Some user-generated content in forums may not be optimized for accessibility

We are actively working to address these limitations. If you encounter a barrier, please let us know.
