SCU Web Team

Dear Colleagues, 

Great news! We have adopted a new platform that will better help us to meet our website accessibility goals. We will transition from Siteimprove to Level Access, effective July 1, 2025. Founded in 1999, Level Access is one of the top digital accessibility platforms on the market and provides us with expanded features to help us meet our accessibility goals. For the next several months, the web team will integrate Level Access into our workflow and determine how best to onboard all of you new users. 

This transition is part of SCU’s priority to improve the accessibility of our website, to better support the needs of our university community and website visitors, through increased manual accessibility reviews, improved remediation guidance, and expanded support from Level Access. For instance, accessible PDFs are a big concern for many universities, and we hope to take the initial steps to tackle them with the help of Level Access. 

What you should do now

• Continue using Siteimprove: We encourage you to take full advantage of Siteimprove’s features before it is retired on July 1, 2025. 
• Get a refresher on how to use Siteimprove: Review the August 13, 2024, Accessibility Fix-A-Thon takeaways or watch the first 30 minutes of the event recording with the Siteimprove trainer. 
• Request a Siteimprove account (if needed): Fill out the account onboarding form

Please do reach out if you have questions or need individual web assistance. Your SCU web team is only a Zendesk web support request away.

Your SCU Web Team,

Marc Ramos and Teri Escobar-Ochoa, Technology Training
Christina Olivas, Grace Carbonel, Monica Bosque and Nancy Lewis, UMC
