Website Accessibility Statement
College of Southern Maryland strives to ensure that its services are accessible to people with disabilities. CSM strives to ensure that its services are accessible to people with disabilities and has invested resources to help ensure that its website is made easier to use and more accessible for people with disabilities, with the strong belief that website accessibility efforts assist all users and that every person has the right to live with dignity and independence.
Our website utilizes UserWay's Web Accessibility Widget, which is powered by a dedicated accessibility server. The software allows our website to improve its compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) by supporting different user needs, including options to adjust text size, contrast, and other visual settings. These tools help ensure that online information is usable, understandable, and accessible to everyone. The accessibility widget can be enabled by clicking the accessibility menu icon that appears on the corner of the page. After triggering the accessibility menu, please wait a moment for the accessibility menu to load in its entirety.
Disclaimer
In an ongoing effort to continually improve and remediate accessibility issues, we regularly scan our website with automated tools and conduct an annual manual audit to identify and fix every possible accessibility barrier on our site. Despite our efforts to make all pages and content fully accessible, some content may not have yet been fully adapted to the strictest accessibility standards. This may be a result of not having found or identified the most appropriate technological solution.
If you wish to report an accessibility issue on the website, have any questions, or need assistance, please contact webmaster@csmd.edu.
