Accessibility Policy

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board is committed to making its Web sites accessible to all users. We have included several features designed to improve accessibility for users with disabilities. Some of theses features are outlined below.

Images on all THECB sites contain the "alt" attribute. This attribute contains a description of the image and aids users who listen to the content of the site using a screen reader, rather than reading the site.

Major reports and other special publications that are made available on our Web sites are generally available in HTML. In some cases we may publish a document using Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). When posting PDF files, we follow the "How to Create Accessible Adobe PDF Files".

To improve the accessibility of our Web sites we test any major redesign with several screen readers and other web tools. The results of these reviews have been incorporated into the website. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board welcomes comments on how to improve the site's accessibility for users with disabilities. Our Web site development guideline is available for review at http://www.thecb.state.tx.us/SiteInfo/
DevelopmentGuide.pdf.

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board is committed to making its Web sites compliant with Conformance Level "A" of the World Wide Web Consortium accessibility rating.

To enable us to respond in a manner most helpful to you, please indicate the nature of your accessibility problem, the preferred format in which to receive the material, the Web address of the requested material, and your contact information.
