As part of the University’s technology accessibility efforts, the Technology Accessibility team in the Office of Information Technology is tasked with annually auditing the accessibility status of every website in the UA web landscape. To complete this audit, we must accurately determine all of the sites under UA purview. An accessibility liaison from each campus area is selected to handle this assignment and the forthcoming audit.
For any technology accessibility concern, users can contact accessibility@ua.edu or the area liaison.

Website Accessibility Dashboard
The Website Accessibility Dashboard is a tool that allows accessibility liaisons to monitor websites for accessibility in addition to providing a location to update the details of websites in each division. The dashboard includes a help section to assist in navigating the interface.
To access the dashboard, liaisons should visit the Website Accessibility Dashboard site and log in with their myBama username and password.
