Purpose
Central Texas College is very committed to provide an inclusive browsing and online academic environment. Great consideration and emphasis is placed on providing a web experience that will address barriers that may be faced by individuals with disabilities. Our goal is to ensure all of the CTC websites are in compliance the regulations set forth by the Texas Administrative Code 206.70 Accessibility standard. CTC will strive to encourage all web system users to go beyond the minimum standards that are outlined in Texas Administrative Code 206.70.
All reasonable measures are put in place to ensure that CTC's websites adhere to standards defined in the Federal Rehabilitation Act Section 508.
