Web Information Accessibility Standards
In response to the need and our ethical duty to ensure equal access to electronic and information technologies, Bellevue College has established a set of information accessibility standards. Just as architectual obstacles have created boundaries for individuals with disabilities, the web presents an entirely different set of obstacles. These standards ensure informaiton access is provided to all on our college websites.
