Accessibility Statement

Aula Magna is committed to making Aula Magna usable by everyone, including people who rely on assistive technologies.

Last updated · 27 May 2026

1. Standard we follow

Aula Magna is being designed to conform with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, the technical standard referenced by Spanish Royal Decree 1112/2018 and the EU Web Accessibility Directive (EU 2016/2102) for public-sector and equivalent websites. We also track the European Accessibility Act 2025 (EAA, Directive EU 2019/882).

2. What works today

  • Keyboard navigation for all interactive elements (Tab, Shift-Tab, Enter, Space, Esc).
  • Visible focus indicators on every interactive control.
  • Semantic HTML — proper landmarks (header / nav / main / footer), heading hierarchy, labelled form controls.
  • Text-to-background contrast ratios meet AA in body text and primary actions.
  • Alt text on meaningful images; decorative images are marked aria-hidden.
  • Live-region announcements for asynchronous status changes (e.g. attendance scan confirmations, save success).
  • Responsive layout that works without horizontal scroll down to 320px width.
  • Respects prefers-reduced-motion for users who disable animation.

3. Known limitations

We are not yet fully conformant. Specifically:

  • The QR scanner screen relies on a camera preview that may be hard to interpret for blind users; we are exploring a paired "tap to attend" mechanism.
  • Some third-party content (Zoom meeting embeds, Clearbit company logos) is outside our direct control and may not meet AA.
  • A small number of decorative charts on the admin Overview lack textual equivalents; we are adding data-tables behind them.
  • Spanish and Catalan translations are not yet complete.

If you encounter a barrier that isn't listed here, please tell us — see Section 5.

4. Assistive technologies tested

  • VoiceOver on macOS Safari and iOS Safari.
  • NVDA on Windows Firefox and Chrome.
  • Keyboard-only navigation across all roles.
  • Screen magnification up to 400% zoom in modern browsers.

5. Reporting accessibility issues

If you find content on Aula Magna that you cannot access, email accessibility@aulamagna.edu with as much detail as you can share (page, browser, assistive technology, what you tried). We aim to acknowledge accessibility reports within 5 working days and resolve confirmed issues within 30 days.

6. Enforcement

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may file a complaint with the Spanish Office for Web Accessibility (OAW) at administracionelectronica.gob.es, or use the EU contact form at web-accessibility-monitoring.ec.europa.eu.

7. Ongoing review

We re-audit Aula Magna against WCAG 2.1 AA at least once a year and after every major redesign. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects when this statement was last reviewed.

This document is provided in English for clarity. Where local law requires a Spanish version, the Spanish translation prevails.
