Accessibilty
UC Merced is committed to providing access to individuals with disabilities,
and the UC Merced website is no exception. This site has been created
in acknowledgement of federal law and industry standards pertaining to
accessibility to the extent feasible. By applying universal design concepts
to the UC Merced website, we have tried to ensure its accessibility to
all Internet users, including those with disabilities, those with graphics
turned off, and everyone using a variety of Web browsers and versions
(device independence).
Design Goals
The current UC Merced Web site was introduced in the fall of 2001. Design
goals focused on making the site increasingly effective with improved
information organization, sensible links between sections and new searching
capabilities. This site also aims to better convey the University's core
missions of teaching, research and service.
