Accessibility statement

This accessibility statement refers to the um.si website. In order to comply with the requirements regarding accessibility, some adjustments were systemically provided, such as:

• responsive design (adjusting content layout to screen resolution),
• displaying contents for assistive technologies users (e.g. screen readers),
• keyboard navigation (adjustment for users who cannot use the mouse),
• adequate colour contrasts (between the text and the background),
• predictable website operation,
• enabled equipping images with alternative text,
• enabled use of various levels of headings.

Level of compliance

The um.si website partially complies with the Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications Act due to the below stated exceptions.

Inaccessible content

We are constantly monitoring the accessibility of the um.si website and regularly improving individual elements of accessibility. Nevertheless, some published contents do not comply with all the requirements regarding accessibility as laid down in the Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications Act due to the disproportionate burden. Regarding publications within the um.si website, users with various forms of disability are thus not able to access some documents intended for a professional or narrow target public or documents that would due to their complexity present a disproportionate burden. Nevertheless, at the University of Maribor we are putting forth extra effort to make our contents as well adapted as possible to potential users belonging to vulnerable groups. In the future, we will make sure to publish documents as much as possible in accessible format.

Examples of such content are:

• scanned documents in PDF files,
• other written documents,
• promotional elements in the form of captions (e.g., infographics),
• video recordings,
• audio recordings,
• various complex data tables.

The reason for the presence of inaccessible content is due to the disproportionate burden, as assessed by the University of Maribor in terms of staffing and financial costs, that would be required for optimization. For inaccessible content, we strive to provide alternative options on an ongoing basis (subtitles are added to video content).
