This page is intended for any Lower Columbia College faculty or staff that intend to post documents online, whether on our Public website or Internal website, any other institutional websites, Canvas, ctcLink, etc. If you have not already, please familiarize yourself with the General Content Accessibility Guidelines, which are prerequisite to the guidelines below.

Creating accessible documents can be daunting, especially if the document has a lot of visual information like charts/graphs, images, or maps. Understanding accessibility can:

  • Help avoid making unnecessary work for yourself.
  • Increase inclusion.
  • Help you to consider the final format you want your document to be posted in to limit conversions from one document type to another, as conversion can result in loss of information.

Policy/Procedure Requirements

Please see Lower Columbia College Policy 720 (Procedure 720.1A) for the required administrative procedure for posting documents and forms to the LCC website.
