Digital Signage accessibility:
Requirements
Beginning July 1, 2024, all digital signs must comply with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards. We will follow CU Boulder’s accessibility guidelines on digital signage:
- Captions should accompany any audio content.
- Visual format should follow the most recently adopted/published WCAG guidelines for distinguishable color and accessibility best practices for text readability. CU Anschutz branding colors and branding fonts should only be used in combinations that have sufficient color contrast. For more support/guides, see our Web Central website page on Accessibility tools.
- Follow the most recent WCAG standards with respect to animation and flicker rates.
- Follow ADA requirements around sign placement as indicated on the Facilities Management Campus Planning Resources page.
