California State University, Stanislaus is actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of the website and in doing so adheres to many of the available standards and guidelines. Although every effort is made to present fully accessible content on this website, a number of accessibility issues still need to be resolved. We are aware of the following issues and are working to address them:
- Uploaded images may not have text alternatives because we cannot ensure the quality of contributions
- Archived documents might not work with current assistive technologies because they use outdated technologies that do not support accessibility
- Video captioning
