One of the goals of the new UBC.ca website and the revision of the UBC Common-Look and Feel web templates is to ensure that information within UBC websites is accessible to the broadest possible audience.
Core functions of the new UBC web templates such as the "Global Utility Bar" running across the top of the website and the primary navigation links throughout the website have been designed to degrade gracefully and provide equal access to the information within for all audiences regardless of the web browser type and configuration.
The visual presentation of the website has been separated from its underlying structure using Cascading Style Sheets - disabling the style sheets will affect the visual presentation without interfering with the normal functioning and navigation of the content.
Improving access to information within UBC websites is an on-going process. As progress is made, this page will be updated with additional information.
