This website is run by the University of Greenwich. We want as many people as possible to be able to use this website.
This accessibility statement applies to the Digital Student Centre (studentcentre.gre.ac.uk).
For example, that means you should be able to:
- change colours, contrast levels and fonts
- zoom in up to 300% without the text spilling off the screen
- navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
- navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
- listen to most of the website using a screen reader (including the most recent versions of JAWS, NVDA and VoiceOver)
We’ve also made the website text as simple as possible to understand.
AbilityNet has advice on making your device easier to use if you have a disability.

Compliance status
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances and exemptions listed below.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons: non-compliance with the accessibility regulations.
- Some Element IDs are not unique, so people using a screen reader might not be able to visualise how the elements fit together. This fails WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.1 (parsing)
- The Role element is sometimes relying on context from other Role elements that don’t exist. This information provides information on content structure. This fails ARIA 1.1 success criterion 5.2.6 (Required Context Role)
- Some text on the page does not include an ARIA landmark. Landmark roles provide information about page structure and is used by assistive technology. This fails WCAG 2.1 Technique ARIA11 (Using ARIA landmarks to identify regions of a page)
When we publish new content, we will make sure the correct accessibility regulations are followed.
