University Policy

Policy Compliance standards and guidelines support the following requirements from the Harvard University Digital Accessibility Policy and the Policy on the Use of Harvard Names and Insignias:

• Digital Accessibility Standards: For the purposes of this Policy, the Digital Accessibility Standards (or “the Standards”) are The World Wide Web Consortium’s Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1, Level AA Conformance (WCAG 2.1 Level AA) for websites and web-based applications and services. Software and services that are not web-based should conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA to the extent such guidelines may usefully be applied to improve the accessibility of these resources. 
• Accessibility Responsibility: Where possible, including on websites operated by the University, Harvard administrators should indicate commitment to accessibility by posting a link to this Policy.
• Harvard Trademark: Just as the names of Harvard’s Schools, units, student groups, clubs, and other activities incorporating “Harvard” or any other University trademarks (names or logos, abbreviated or otherwise), are used by permission of and are owned by Harvard University, all domain names, social media sites, and other electronic activities covered under these guidelines are similarly used by permission of and owned by the University and must be registered to “The President and Fellows of Harvard College” (the University’s legal name).
