Digital Accessibility
Accessibility Statement
We continuously improve our website to ensure that all users, including people with disabilities, can use it comfortably with keyboards, screen readers, mobile devices, and assistive technologies.
Commitment Statement
As Hakkari University, we are committed to making our digital services accessible to all users. We regularly improve our website to bring it closer to standards that enable everyone to access information equally and independently.
Compliance Status
This website has been developed with the principles of WCAG 2.2 Level AA and VCAG accessibility expectations in mind. Content structure, contrast, keyboard accessibility, focus visibility, and the use of semantic HTML are regularly reviewed.
What's Available on the Site?
Active Accessibility Features
Accessibility Menu
Options are provided for adjusting text size, contrast, highlighting links, reducing motion, hiding images, using a dyslexia-friendly font, adjusting text spacing, line height, reading guide, reading mask, and large cursor.
Keyboard Navigation
Menus, search panels, tabs, pagination, links, and buttons can be navigated using the keyboard. Visible focus styles help users keep track of their current location on the page.
Semantic Page Structure
Screen reader compatibility is supported through a clear heading hierarchy, landmark regions, meaningful link text, form labels, and alternative text practices.
Color and Contrast
Readable contrast is targeted for text, buttons, and focus states. Options such as high contrast and reduced saturation can be enabled according to user preferences.
Motion and Animation Control
Reduced animation is supported for users who are sensitive to motion. The prefers-reduced-motion preference in the browser is also taken into account.
Audio Verification and Forms
For areas that use CAPTCHA or verification, the goal is to provide an audio alternative, clear error messages, labeled form fields, and a workflow that can be completed using the keyboard.
WCAG 2.2 AA Approach
Key Principles We Apply
- Perceivable: Content is readable, images can be supported with meaningful alternative text, and color is not used as the sole means of conveying information.
- Operable: Links, menus, forms, and control buttons can be used with the keyboard, and the focus order is kept logical.
- Understandable: Page headings, descriptions, error messages, and link text are prepared clearly and consistently.
- Robust: A maintainable structure is targeted by preserving semantic HTML, ARIA labels, and compatibility with assistive technologies.
Transparency
Known Limitations
Some older archived documents, PDF-format guidelines, or third-party integrations may not yet fully meet all accessibility standards. We continue to work on accessible versions and more compliant alternatives for these contents.
The level of accessibility of maps, videos, social media embeds, and applications linked to external services may depend on the respective service provider. Our goal is to provide alternative descriptions that inform users in these areas.
