Mount Holyoke College strives to meet the needs of all visitors
to MHC Web sites. To provide maximum access for MHC Web visitors,
accessibility solutions have been built into the College Web design
and templates. MHC does its best to follow accessibility guidelines
provided by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web
Accessibility Initiative and the USA
Rehabilitation Act. The College Web design is tested on a wide
range of Web browsers for accessibility.
Accessibility involves page design that is navigable using adaptive
technology, such as graphics and links should be labeled with text
that makes sense when read by a screen reader.
Javascript, such as rollover navigational images, are not accessible
to screen readers.
Include alt tags on your site to enable speech synthesizers (visually
impaired user reader programs) to read the alt tag aloud. On a PC,
when a user moves their mouse over an image, the alt tag becomes visible,
it appears as text.
