Website Accessibility Statement
Alaska Christian College is committed to ensuring that our digital resources, academic information, admissions processes, and public services are accessible to all individuals, including people with disabilities.
Our Accessibility Commitments
To provide an inclusive online experience, our redesigned digital platform has been engineered to meet or exceed Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA.
WCAG 2.2 Level AA Standard
We strive to conform to Level AA of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 across all institutional web pages.
Semantic HTML & Landmarks
Pages are built with proper HTML5 semantic elements (main, nav, header, footer, aside, section) enabling seamless screen reader navigation.
Full Keyboard Navigation
All interactive elements, including menus, modals, search interfaces, and application forms, are fully operable using standard keyboard controls with visible focus rings.
High Contrast & Readability
Color pairings are rigorously checked against WCAG contrast ratio minimums (4.5:1 for normal text, 3:1 for large headings) against our forest evergreen and warm ivory palette.
Accessible Tables & Data
Tuition breakdowns, academic calendars, and fee schedules use semantic table headers, column scopes, and accessible summary captions.
Reduced-Motion Support
We honor the prefers-reduced-motion media query by disabling decorative transitions and non-essential animations for users with vestibular sensitivities.
Academic Accommodations & Student Support
In addition to digital accessibility, Alaska Christian College provides individualized academic accommodations, assistive technology, and learning coaching through the Learning Resource Center (LRC) for enrolled students with documented disabilities.
Encountering an Accessibility Barrier?
We actively monitor and improve our website. If you encounter any accessibility barrier or require an alternative format for any academic disclosure, catalog, or public document, please contact our coordinator immediately:
