GNCU has adopted and shall make every reasonable effort for gncu.org to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (“WCAG”) 2.1 Level AA to improve accessibility and user experience. WCAG is published by the World Wide Web Consortium (“W3C”), Web Accessibility Initiative (“WAI”), available at www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/. We regularly evaluate and test our site.
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines are technical standards to improve digital accessibility.

- CSS
- JavaScript
Note that different technology combinations may interpret code in unique ways and render experiences that are specific to those combinations.
Compatibility
Gncu.org is designed to be compatible with assistive technologies and the last two versions of major browsers including Edge, Chrome, FireFox, and Safari.
Assistive technologies include NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver, and TalkBack screen readers.
Gncu.org does not display optimally in Internet Explorer 10 or older browsers.
Coordinator
GNCU has designated a Web Accessibility Coordinator who is knowledgeable on web accessibility, and responsible for carrying out this policy.

GNCU requires employees and contractors to comply with this policy. Failure to comply may result in disciplinary action.
Expertise
GNCU has retained Noble Studios as an independent third-party specialist to provide consultation and bi-annually evaluate and test gncu.org for WCAG 2.1 AA conformance. Noble Studios and its entities prepare a written report based on the evaluation, which identifies any barriers and provides recommendations to enhance the accessibility of gncu.org.
Testing
GNCU engages in automated testing and user testing of individuals with disabilities to continually assess and improve the accessibility of gncu.org.
Training
GNCU provides annual training on web accessibility to Web Content Personnel and considers the degree and effectiveness with which personnel took accessibility considerations into account in the performance of their duties when reviewing their performance.
Compliance
