Accessibility

Section 508 Guidelines

Section 508 is a part of the Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1998. These guidelines serve to aid web designers in ensuring their pages are accessible to members of the public with disabilities. The Board of Regents of the University System has determined that institutions under the Board of Regents fall within the scope of Section 508. States receiving funding under the Assistive Technology Act (such as Georgia) are compelled to comply.

To this end, all official UGA websites are required to comply with Section 508 guidelines. If you would like to read more information on Section 508, please visit EITS's page on "Web Accessibility and Persons with Disabilities."

The Office of Marketing and Communications has optimized all official Terry College of Business web pages* to meet Section 508.

For more information on The University of Georgia's policy on Section 508, please visit: http://www.eits.uga.edu/webhelp/wai

Lift Assistive

The Terry College of Business website takes advantage of the Lift Assistive text transcoder. In association with the Disability Resource Center and web design experts on campus, EITS (Enterprise Information Technology Services) selected and deployed Lift Assistive, a server-based tool from UsableNet Inc. that dynamically generates customizable "text-only" views of Web sites.

This moves UGA towards fully accommodating individuals with visual impairments, mobile impairments, and similar challenges regarding equal access and use of UGA Web sites in the same ways as those without these challenges.

Transcoded pages also include a tool section by default, allowing the user to customize the page by changing font size, page colors, and other functions.

Visit Lift Assistive's website for more information on Lift Assistive.

* Official Terry College of Business pages are defined as containing the Terry College header, global navigation, and footer. See Official Web Presence for examples.
