This includes verifying that all required accessibility elements are present and that the document passes an accessibility check before it is deposited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Submissions that are reviewed and found to be non\u2011compliant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards will be returned to the student for correction. Accessibility compliance is required for final acceptance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What This Means for Your Submission<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA requirements, your thesis or dissertation must be created using accessible authoring practices, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Headings<\/span>.<\/strong> Your thesis or dissertation must use built\u2011in heading styles (for example, Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3) to show the structure of the document. Headings are not just visual formatting. They create a navigable outline that screen\u2011reader users rely on to move through your work.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Color Contrast<\/span>.<\/strong> All text, charts, graphs, and figures must have enough contrast between foreground and background colors so they can be read by users with low vision or color\u2011vision deficiencies. For normal text, WCAG\u202f2.1 Level\u202fAA requires a contrast ratio of at least 4.5:1 between text and its background. Color should never be the only way information is conveyed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Alternative Text<\/span>.<\/strong> All meaningful images, including charts, graphs, diagrams, and figures\u2014must include alternative text (alt text) that describes the information the image conveys. Complex images require a two\u2011part text alternative. The first part is a short description that identifies the image and, when appropriate, directs readers to the long description. The second part is the long description itself, which explains the key information the image communicates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Accessible Tables<\/span>.<\/strong> Tables must be created using Word or LaTeX\u2019s built\u2011in table tools, not by using tabs, spaces, or images of tables. Tables should have a simple, logical structure, with clearly identified row and\/or column headers so screen readers can correctly associate data cells with their headers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Logical Reading Order<\/span>.<\/strong> The logical reading order must be manually checked to ensure that a screen reader will read content in the same order a sighted reader would expect. If your final submission is a PDF, it must be a tagged PDF. Tags provide the underlying structure (headings, paragraphs, lists, tables, figures) that assistive technologies use to read the document correctly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Selectable Text<\/span>.<\/strong> All text in your thesis or dissertation must be real, selectable text, not scanned images of text. Screen readers cannot read scanned text unless it has been properly converted using OCR, and OCR errors often make documents inaccessible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recommended Tools for Checking Accessibility<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before depositing your thesis\/dissertation, students must ensure that their document meets current ADA accessibility requirements using the following tools when preparing their document:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Microsoft Word Thesis Template users<\/span><\/strong>: Students are required to check their thesis\/dissertation for accessibility compliance and resolve all outstanding accessibility issues using the built-in accessibility checker. You can learn more about the accessibility checker from the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/support.office.com\/en-us\/article\/use-the-accessibility-checker-on-your-windows-desktop-to-find-accessibility-issues-a16f6de0-2f39-4a2b-8bd8-5ad801426c7f?ui=en-US&amp;rs=en-US&amp;ad=US\">Microsoft Accessibility<\/a>&nbsp;page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">LaTeX\/Overleaf Thesis Template users<\/span>:<\/strong>&nbsp;Students are required to check their thesis\/dissertation for accessibility compliance using Adobe\u2019s built-in accessibility checker and resolve all outstanding accessibility issues. For more information, review Adobe\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/helpx.adobe.com\/acrobat\/using\/create-verify-pdf-accessibility.html\">Accessibility<\/a>&nbsp;information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Running these checks early and addressing issues throughout the writing process will help avoid delays at the time of deposit.  However, automated accessibility checkers are not sufficient for confirming compliance.  Manual checks are still needed to ensure that the thesis or dissertation file meets all WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards including color contrast requirements and logical reading order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Timing and Impact on Graduation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accessibility compliance is a required component of the thesis and dissertation deposit process. Students should plan adequate time to address accessibility issues before their final submission deadline. Failure to submit an accessible document may delay acceptance of the thesis or dissertation and could impact graduation timelines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Additional Support<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Students are encouraged to review these materials early in the writing process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/innovativelearning\/tools-resources\/accessibility\/\">Purdue Innovation Learning<\/a> offers workshops and resources to aid students with document and content accessibility.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Purdue Libraries offers a <a href=\"https:\/\/guides.lib.purdue.edu\/digitalaccessibility?_gl=1*1tm95kp*_gcl_au*NjU4MzE2MTg1LjE3NzQ4NjkzODM.*_ga*NjQzMTYzNzg4LjE3NzQ4NjkzODM.*_ga_PF1CYQ27F6*czE3NzQ5MTc1MjQkbzQkZzEkdDE3NzQ5MTc3OTckajU3JGwwJGgw\">Digital Accessibility Skills Resource Guide<\/a> to support the creation of accessible digital content.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>FAQs and accessibility resources are available on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/innovativelearning\/tools-resources\/accessibility\/ada-title-ii-compliance-faqs\/\">ADA Title II Compliance FAQs<\/a> webpage provided by Innovative Learning at Purdue University.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/innovativelearning\/tools-resources\/accessibility\/assistive-technology-lab\/\">Assistive Technology Lab (ATL)<\/a> provides assistive technology resources to support faculty, staff, and students with accessible information access and computing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"purdue-accordion-wrap  purdue-accordion-wrap--small\">\n    <div class=\"section has-black-background has-padding-top-none has-padding-bottom-none has-no-sidepadding\">\n        <div class=\"container\">\n            <div class=\"purdue-accordion has-no-bottomborder\">\n                <h3 class=\"accordion__heading purdue-accordion__title  purdue-accordion__title--small\" id=\"title-0efdfc0a-70e4-49da-bf94-168f945cb2d6\">\n                    <button aria-controls=\"content-0efdfc0a-70e4-49da-bf94-168f945cb2d6\" aria-expanded=\"false\">The Deposit Process<\/button>\n                <\/h3>\n                <div class=\"accordion__content purdue-accordion__content\" id=\"content-0efdfc0a-70e4-49da-bf94-168f945cb2d6\" hidden aria-hidden=\n                \"true\">\n                    \n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Complete the Electronic Thesis Acceptance Form (ETAF) and Required Surveys<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Form 9 ETAF is available in the student&#8217;s Graduate Student Portal dashboard and it should be submitted after you have passed and received approval of your final defense.
