Web Scanning Procedures

IT Web Services use a cloud-based web scanning system called Level Access to scan and monitor the campus websites on the weekly basis.  When the scheduled scan is complete, the system generates web accessibility reports to web liaisons or web owners.  The users need to login their Level Access accounts to view their reports.  When a site fails for two weeks in a row the owner and web liaison are notified that their site is in jeopardy of being redirected. If a site fails for a third consecutive week it can be redirected. A redirected web site is unavailable for viewing by anyone. All traffic that would normally go to any page within the redirected web site is instead sent to a page explaining that the site is unavailable due to accessibility non-compliance. A web site that has been redirected will remain so until all errors have been repaired. When a web liaison has repaired all outstanding issues the site can be returned to normal operation after IT Web Services has verified the site passes automated verification.

IT Web Services offers training and assistance in the creation of accessible web pages as well as how to repair errors that are reported by Level Access.
