• Websites built on Brown’s standard brown.edu templates were reviewed for accessibility before launch. However, if content has been added, particularly graphics, you should review them for compliance. The web accessibility training video explains what to look for.
• Websites not on brown.edu or sites.brown.edu – such as lab or clinical practice sites – that are affiliated with Brown must also comply with these accessibility standards.
• For PowerPoint presentations, our BioMed/Medical School PPT templates follow accessibility standards if slides use the embedded heading system. In existing PPT slide decks, you can type “accessibility” into the “Tell me what you want me to do…” field in PPT to launch the program’s Accessibility Checker, which will identify issues to address.
• PDFs and other documents on websites or in course materials that are no longer being used and are not accessible should be deleted (download a copy first if you want a record). If the documents are not current but need to be kept public, put them in a clearly labeled "Archive" section as described in this FAQ. The FAQ also contains instructions on how to make documents and PDFs accessible.

For course materials, the Course Accessibility Checklist can help identify and address barriers to access.
