Brandon University is committed to providing information and communication in accessible formats. If receiving information in an alternate format would remove a barrier for you, please inform the source of the communication, and we will work with you to help ensure information and communication is accessible.

Our commitments

We are committed to providing accessible information and communications:

• We inform the public and our employees that information is available in accessible formats and through communication supports on request.
• We consult with the person requesting accessible information to identify the support or format that would remove the barrier.
• We provide information requested in alternate formats or through communication supports in a timely manner and do not impose a cost or fee that would not be imposed on a person who did not make a request.
• We ensure web content that is required to access our goods and services, and all newly published web content, meets or exceeds WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines.
• We ensure that new and updated web applications meet or exceed WCAG 2.1 Level AA guidelines.
• We welcome and respond promptly to feedback we receive on the accessibility of our information and communication. We document the actions we take to respond to the feedback we receive, and we make that information available on request.
• We provide the required training on accessible information and communication to employees, agents, volunteers and any person who develops or maintains our web content, purchases or procures information technology or communication tools, develops or implements our accessible information and communication policies and practices, or provides information to the public or to other organizations in Manitoba.
• We keep a written record of accessibility and training policies, including a summary of our training materials and when our training is offered. We let the public know that our accessibility and training policies are available on request.

The Manitoba government’s Accessibility Standard for Information and Communication requires that public sector organizations like Brandon University provide information and communication in ways that are accessible to all Manitobans.

Accessible formats include, but are not limited to, large print, recorded audio, electronic formats and braille. Communication supports include, but are not limited to, captioning, plain language, sign language and alternative and augmentative communication supports.
