Digital Accessibility at Luiss
Luiss Guido Carli’s commitment to accessibility
Luiss Guido Carli is committed to making its content, services, and digital environments accessible to as many people as possible, including individuals with disabilities and those who use assistive technologies.
We view accessibility as a key component of a high-quality digital experience and of the inclusion of the university community. Our goal is to enable students, faculty, staff, applicants, and anyone interested in the University’s activities to access information and use digital services in the most independent, effective, and satisfying way possible.
At Luiss, accessibility is progressively integrated into the design, development, content production, and maintenance of the portal, without relying solely on automatic tools or solutions added later to ensure compliance.
Approach to accessibility on the Luiss website
This page outlines the accessibility approach for the Luiss.it institutional portal.
The scope includes:
- the informational pages published on the domain www.luiss.it;
- the main navigation paths of the institutional portal;
- editorial content managed directly by Luiss;
- the forms and features directly integrated into the portal, when included in the assessment.
Some links may lead to separate sites, platforms, or digital services, such as restricted areas, admissions systems, teaching services, the Library portal, third-party applications, or other sites within the Luiss digital ecosystem. These environments may have different technologies, managers, and levels of accessibility and, when necessary, must undergo dedicated assessments and have dedicated privacy notices.
Accessibility strategy
Luiss integrates accessibility right from the design and development stages, adopting an accessibility-by-design approach. Principles, requirements, and practical examples guide designers and developers in creating inclusive digital experiences.
How accessibility is verified on the Luiss portal
The portal is evaluated through a combination of automatic and manual checks.
Activities may include:
- automated code analysis;
- verification of keyboard-only navigation;
- checking visibility and focus order;
- verification of the semantic structure of the pages;
- content magnification and reflow testing;
- contrast checks;
- screen reader testing;
- verification of forms, error messages, and interactive components;
- testing across various browsers, operating systems, and screen sizes;
Automatic tools are used as a support and not as the sole means of evaluation, as they cannot independently identify all barriers or determine whether the experience is truly understandable and usable.
Compliance status
The website partially complies with the requirements outlined in Appendix A of the UNI CEI EN 301 549 standard. The specific instances of non-compliance are detailed in the Accessibility Declaration document, which is available as a PDF in the dedicated section below.
