The University of Waterloo is committed to meeting our obligations under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). The University has an obligation to meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG 2.0 Level AA for all public websites, in accordance with AODA legislation, as outlined in Policy 58 - Accessibility. (Our obligations are specified in Section 14 of the Integrated Accessibility Standards which is a regulation under the AODA.)
Building your web site in the Waterloo Content Management System or UWaterloo Scholar is the easiest way to meet this requirement. For sites outside of these systems, see how to meet web accessibility requirements.
The standard is now in force and applies to anything that was published on a website on or after January 1, 2012, including PDF files and web-based applications that an organization controls directly or through a contractual relationship that allows for modification of the product.
Websites are required to be accessible if any of the following are true:
The rules that apply to the University also apply to the Affiliated and Federated Institutions of Waterloo.
Websites in the University’s web space that are personal or relating to other groups, such as student clubs, for which the University does not control content do not fall under the University’s legal mandate to make its websites accessible. Still, University employees and other groups using the University’s web space are strongly encouraged to make their sites accessible.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is centralized within our Office of Indigenous Relations.
