Symplicity is committed to making its web application accessible, in accordance with:
This web application is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons.
One form input does not have a properly associated label, so people using a screen reader might not understand the purpose of the element. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.3.1. We plan to fix the unassigned labels.
We have prioritized these accessibility improvements based on analytics and data. We try to make accessibility improvements a high priority. Usually, we are able to make accessibility improvements very quickly. Some improvements are complex and require more time for planning, development and testing.
The calendar does not provide markup that provides information and establishes relationships in a way that can be understood by a screen reader user. The calendar does not provide necessary functionality, and most of the information displayed on the calendar is accessible via other modules in an accessible format. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criteria.
PDF documents are typically used for student resumes/CVs, and other application materials. Users may upload a non-PDF document, which is then converted to PDF. These converted PDFs may not be fully accessible. When PDFs are compiled into a publication (or “packet”), these publications may not be fully accessible. PDF accessibility can only be achieved by manual process on a per-document basis.
When students record answers to mock interviews, these answers are recorded and stored. The answers may then be played back to other users. Adding captions to these answer videos would require the intervention of a human transcriber.
We’ve assessed the cost of fixing the issues above. We believe that doing so now would be a disproportionate burden / undue burden within the meaning of the accessibility regulations. We will re-assess this at least once per calendar year.
We have not identified any content that is not within the scope of the accessibility regulations.
This web application was last tested on May 6, 2020. The test was carried out by a Symplicity accessibility specialist. In this test, we used critical path analysis, usage data, and our knowledge of the application architecture to determine a sample of pages to test.
Accessibility is a consideration at every stage of our process. Accessibility training is required for every designer and developer who works on the user interface. Automated and manual evaluations are performed throughout the design, development, and quality assurance process. Remediation of accessibility issues are given a high priority, and is generally performed in a timely manner.
Our accessibility roadmap is available upon to our current and prospective clients upon request.
