Our Commitment
The Emmanuel International College Alumni Association (EICAA) is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all users, including alumni, visitors, and members with disabilities or impairments. We believe that every member of the EIC community — regardless of ability — deserves equal access to information, services, and the opportunity to stay connected with their alma mater.
We strive to make our website perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for all users, and we continuously work to improve the accessibility of our digital platforms.
Applicable Standards
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), at Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including:
- Visual impairments (including blindness, low vision, and colour blindness)
- Hearing impairments and deafness
- Motor and physical disabilities
- Cognitive, learning, and neurological disabilities
- Speech disabilities
WCAG 2.1 AA is the internationally recognised benchmark adopted by governments and organisations worldwide, including across the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Australia. As an association with members across multiple continents, we have chosen this standard because it represents a universally understood, country-neutral commitment to inclusion — one that every member of our global community can recognise and trust.
Measures We Have Taken
In working toward an accessible website, EICAA has taken or is working toward the following measures:
