This accessibility statement applies to www.lincolncollege.ac.uk.
This website is run by Lincoln College. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website. For example, that means you should be able to:
change colours, contrast levels and fonts
zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Technical information about this website’s accessibility
Lincoln College is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.
Compliance status
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
Our enrolment portal isn't fully accessible via a keyboard and screen reader. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.3.1 (Info and Relationships) and 4.1.2 (Name, Role, Value).
We are continuing to work with our enrolment portal provider to improve accessibility and we hope to have this fully accessible soon.
Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
PDFs and other documents
Some of our PDFs, such as our campus maps, are not accessible by keyboard only control. The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services. For example, our campus maps aren't easily accessible via a keyboard - please contact us for directions in an alternative format.
Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
Video only content
We do not plan to add text or audio alternatives to the video only content on our course area pages because pre-recorded video published before 23 September 2020 is exempt from the regulations.
