Our Commitment to Accessibility

Tomorrow University of Applied Sciences is a global university for impactful careers, bringing together learners, educators, and partners from around the world. Accessibility isn’t just a compliance checkbox—it’s central to our mission of empowering change-makers across every continent.

We foster a truly inclusive digital environment where all users, including students, prospective students, faculty, staff, and visitors, can access information, engage with our content, and utilize our learning platforms effectively. We strive to provide a positive and barrier-free experience across our website and digital services.

As a remote-first institution focused on empowering individuals to create a sustainable future, we believe that access to quality learning experiences should be universal, regardless of ability or technological constraints. Our goal is to minimize technical barriers, ensuring that learners can fully participate—even when using lower-spec devices, slower internet connections, or basic assistive tools.

Conformance Status

Tomorrow University of Applied Sciences is actively working to increase the accessibility of its website and digital content to ensure compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA. These internationally recognized guidelines, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), outline standards for making web content more accessible to people with disabilities.

Accessibility Features and Measures

We are implementing and maintaining the following accessibility features and measures to make our digital offerings accessible:

  • Understandable:
    • Readable Content: We aim for clear, concise language and provide tools or explanations for complex academic or technical terms where necessary.
    • Consistent Layout: The layout and design of our pages are consistent, making it easier for users to orient themselves.
    • Form Accessibility: Forms are designed with clear labels, instructions, and error identification to assist users with input.
  • Perceivable:
    • Text Alternatives: We provide descriptive “alt” text for images and other non-text content, ensuring information is available to screen reader users.
    • Color Contrast: We strive to maintain sufficient color contrast between text and background elements to ensure readability for users with low vision or color blindness.
    • Resizable Text: Users can adjust text size using browser settings without loss of functionality or content.
    • Captions and Transcripts: Where applicable, our video and audio content includes synchronized captions and transcripts to support users with hearing impairments.
  • Robust:
    • Semantic HTML: We use appropriate semantic HTML markup to structure content, enhancing compatibility with various user agents, including assistive technologies.
    • Browser and Assistive Technology Compatibility: We strive for broad compatibility with major browsers and common assistive technologies. Our "mobile-first platform" and "next-gen virtual campus experience" are designed for flexibility across devices.
  • Operable:
    • Predictable Navigation: Our website and platform navigation are consistent and predictable, aiding users in understanding site structure.
    • Sufficient Time: Users are given enough time to read and use content, with options to pause, stop, or extend time limits for timed content.
    • Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements, navigation, and content can be accessed and operated using only a keyboard, without the need for a mouse. Logical tab order is prioritized.
    • Focus Indication: Clear visual indicators are provided to show which element is currently in keyboard focus.

Known Limitations and Non-Accessible Content

Despite our best efforts, we acknowledge that some areas of our website or digital content may not yet be fully accessible. We are actively working to address these and appreciate your understanding.

  • Third-Party Content: Our website may link to third-party content or integrate services (e.g., external video players, embedded applications) whose accessibility is outside of our direct control. While we choose our partners to meet accessibility standards, we cannot guarantee their full compliance.
  • Interactive Elements: Some interactive charts, graphs, or simulations used within specific pages might currently present accessibility challenges for certain assistive technologies. We are continuously exploring solutions to enhance these elements.
  • Older Documents: Some older PDF documents or external resources may not be fully optimized for screen readers or may lack complete tagging. We are working on a process to remediate these or provide accessible alternatives upon request.
