Accessibility and Usability Lab

All student-oriented communication and information technology (ICT) systems to be launched by the University of Colorado Boulder must be tested for accessibility. Accessibility testing can be done on campus through the Accessibility and Usability Lab. It can also be done off campus by a vendor/supplier or a third-party consultant. All third-party testing must follow the standards approved by Dan Jones, CDAO (Chief Digital Accessibility Officer) and ICTARB (ICT Accessibility Review Board).
