CAPS Web Site Accessibility Statement


The Center for Academic Planning & Support (CAPS) strives to maintain an accessible site as described in Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act Amendments of 1998 and the Web Accessibility Initiatives established through the World Wide Web Consortium otherwise known as W3C. W3C's mission is to lead the World Wide Web to its full potential by developing protocols and guidelines that ensure long-term growth for the Web. Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act Amendments mandates that federal agencies must ensure that all electronic and information technology purchased, maintained, or developed meets the accessibility standards established by the U.S. Access Board.
For more information on Section 508 visit The United States Access Board Section 508 homepage http://www.access-board.gov/508.htm

CAPS maintains accessibility as a service to students at Great Bay Community College and all interested community members and as a way of easing usability to persons with or without disabilities. We have taken the time to highlight special features of our site that may be of difficulty to some viewers. The following is a list of accessible alternatives for multimedia site features:
