Our Commitment to Accessibility
Monarch University is dedicated to ensuring accessibility and equal opportunity for all individuals in its programs, services, and activities. We adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) as part of our commitment to creating an inclusive online environment.
To achieve and maintain WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance, we utilize a combination of third-party tools, manual audits, and automated scans. Our staff members who manage web content undergo required accessibility training and participate in ongoing education sessions to stay updated on digital accessibility best practices.
