Technical information about this website’s accessibility

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the standard, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.

Non-accessible content

The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

This section covers issues that we need to fix and are working to do so.Ìý

Please refer to the current for the most up-to-date information regarding its accessibility.

All or most URLs

  • Screen readers will see the navigation bar landark as 'banner landmark', 'navigation' and 'navigation landmark', where really we should only have 1 single landmark.
  • ManyÌýalerts do not notify screen readers.ÌýAs an example, when you start an interactive session there is an alert to notify the user of its success or failure, but screen readers are not notified of this alert.

Landing page

  • The welcome logo does not provide alt text.
  • Message of the Day and pinned apps use heading levels 3 & 4 instead of 2 & 3.

Batch connect session cards

  • When the cardsÌýchange state, say from 'Queued' to 'Running', there is no notification for the user.
  • There isÌýno good organization of these cards.
  • Some ambiguous links, like the session id link that is a UUID.

Batch connect app webforms

  • When a user updates a form field, another form field may automatically be updated. There is no screen reader notification when this occurs.
  • Resolution form fields have labels visible to sighted users, but screen reader navigation does not automatically read them. The user is forced to navigate around the form element to hear the label.

No VNC

This functionality is fully incompatible with screen readers at the time of writing.

Dashboard files table

  • The files table does not notify users of updates. When a user clicks through to another directory in the file browser table the table updates with the contents of the chosen directory. However, screen readers are not notified that this change has occured.
  • Screen readers read the sorting arrows in the files tableÌýwhen they should only read the column name.
  • File browsing landmarks could be better.ÌýThere's currently a little too much navigation to get anywhere interesting.

Shell application

This functionality is fully incompatible with screen readers at the time of writing.

If you find an issue that we have yet to identify, please contact us using one of the routes described in the ‘Reporting accessibility problems with this website’ section of this statement.

Disproportionate burden

At this time, we have not made any disproportionate burden claims.

Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations

Third-party content

This websiteÌýcontains third-party content. We do not have control over and are not responsible for the accessibility of this content, but we make best endeavours to work with the third-party to improve its accessibility. This may include:

  • content/functionality on our website
  • content hosted on other websites, such as social media sites
  • documents which are sent to us and uploaded, or comments left on pages by members of the public

To help accessibility compliance across the sector, University College London supports , a centralised, independent directory of third-party accessibility information.Ìý

searchBOX catalogues the contact information and accessibility statements of third-party suppliers, enables the sharing of community-generated accessibility statements, and allows users to map their supplier ecosystem.Ìý

Users can access third-party accessibility statements using the free .Ìý

UCL encourages all our partners and suppliers to support this effort by ensuring that their accessibility information is included in the searchBOX directory.Ìý

Our testing processes

For third-party applications we have sourced accessibility statements from suppliers directly (wherever possible) and added these to (a centralised, independent directory of third-party accessibility information) and documented this in our accessibility statements.

What we’re doing to improve accessibility

UCL has created aÌýDigital Accessibility PolicyÌýto help us embed accessible by design approaches to our own development as well as externally procured digital systems and we are actively engaged in processes to assess and prioritise remediation of existing systems.

In addition, accessibility is at the heart of our new Design System that will underpin all future digital system development.Ìý
