Accessibility Statement
Declaration of digital accessibility
Humanitas University’s website is partially compliant with the Law on Digital Accessibility of Public Entity Websites and Mobile Applications due to the following inconsistencies or exclusions.
Content not available:
Self-assessment result:
- Graphic elements may not have full alternative descriptions.
- Not all video materials have audiodescription and/or subtitles (mainly applies to materials published before the law came into effect).
- The structure of headings on some subpages may be inconsistent, making it difficult to navigate with assistive technologies.
- Some PDF/.Docx documents may not be digitally accessible (no tags, language declaration, proper structure).
- Interactive elements may not be fully accessible from the keyboard.
- The contrast of selected elements may be insufficient relative to the requirements of WCAG 2.1 AA.
Results of the automated audit (Lighthouse)
- Some buttons and links do not have accessible descriptions (accessible name), making it difficult to use the site with screen readers.
- In some places, the text has too little contrast to the background, which can affect readability.
- The presence of tabindex values greater than 0, which can disrupt the order of keyboard navigation.
- Limited number of “Skip to content” links, which limits convenient skipping to the main content by keyboard users.
- Possible suboptimal use of ARIA attributes (roles and aria-*), which may interfere with assistive technologies’ interpretation of page structure.
Once the technical changes have been made, we will conduct an automated re-audit (e.g., using Google Lighthouse) to confirm improved performance and WCAG compliance.
Exclusions:
- Content that cannot be adapted for technical or legal reasons (e.g., documents provided by external entities, scans of archival documents).
