Website Accessibility

An accessible website enables persons with a disability and the elderly the same level of efficiency and enjoyment of the website provided to all website users. According to a study conducted by Microsoft in 2003, about 20%-25% of the population encounters difficulty using the internet and may benefit from more accessible internet content.

The Sami Shamoon College of Engineering believes in and acts to ensure online equal opportunity for persons with a disability and for persons employing assistive technology in using the computer.
