Terms and Conditions

Accessibility

Keele University is committed to increasing the accessibility of information to all users, including visitors with visual or motor impairments. This statement outlines our activities and achievements so far in increasing accessibility.

Should you encounter any problems in accessing these pages, or you would like to suggest improvements, please contact itservice@isc.keele.ac.uk .

Standards compliance

Our aim is for all pages within the domain www.keele.ac.uk to comply with priority 1 and 2 guidelines of the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).

We are striving towards validating all pages as XHTML 1.0 Strict, whilst using structured semantic markup, with CSS 2.1 for page design.

The use of tables for non-tabular information is being phased out, however some may remain in the transitional pages that are being updated.

Text resizing

The text on this website is built to resize in order to be as flexible as possible to users with different needs. Text can be increased or decreased from your browser tool bar, or on Windows, if you have a mouse with a scroll wheel, you can hold down CONTROL and scroll the wheel backwards or forwards to alter the text size. You can also hold CONTROL and press on the plus or minus buttons (next to the number 0 on most keyboards).

Exceptions

Within these pages there are links to external sites that are not part of the www.keele.ac.uk domain. Keele University cannot guarantee the level of compliance of these external pages.
