TAMIU is committed to making the University Web sites accessible to all users. We create our sites and pages using principles of accessibility and usability design. Pages are tested for contrast and also, readability with JAWS. We welcome comments on how to improve our pages for users with disabilities. If you use assistive technology and the format of any material on our Web sites interfere with your ability to access the information, please comment to webmaster@tamiu.edu. Please indicate the nature of your accessibility problem, the format in which you would like to receive the material, the Web address of the requested material, and your contact information. TAMIU has adopted the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 W3C Recommendation 5-May-1999 (WCAG) as the primary guideline to meet the objectives of the Universal Accessibility for Web Sites policy and Texas Administrative Code, Title 1, Part 10, Chapter 206.

These guidelines explain how to make Web content accessible to people with disabilities. The guidelines are intended for all Web content developers (page authors and site designers) and for developers of authoring tools. The primary goal of these guidelines is to promote accessibility. However, following them will also make Web content more available to all users, whatever user agent they are using (e.g., desktop browser, voice browser, mobile phone, automobile-based personal computer, etc.) or constraints they may be operating under (e.g., noisy surroundings, under- or over-illuminated rooms, in a hands-free environment, etc.). Following these guidelines will also help people find information on the Web more quickly. These guidelines do not discourage content developers from using images, video, etc., but rather explain how to make multimedia content more accessible to a wide audience.
