Digital Accessibility at UofG
The University wants to ensure the digital information we make available through all our portals is accessible to the vast majority of our users – current and prospective students/staff, funders, collaborators and the wider public.
Ensuring our digital content is accessible fits with our values, and supports the University’s aims as relating to widening access, civic engagement and inclusivity. In addition, we have legal obligations under the Equality Act 2010, and Digital Accessibility Regulations 2018.
It is important that you make yourself aware of your obligations in providing content and services, particularly with reference to legislation.
Watch students tell us why this is important:
