Digital accessibility
It would be of great benefit to our University students if the CampusM website were to incorporate digital accessibility features.
By digital accessibility, we mean implementing tools that would allow students to view digital content:
- in black and white mode,
- with high contrast,
- negative contrast,
- light background,
- the ability to change fonts to bold,
- increase or decrease text size.
As a good example, we can refer to the website of the Latvian Student Union: https://www.lsa.lv/language/en/

As part of our 2025 roadmap, campusM has been going through a VPAT compliance process, which should be ending in the next few weeks.
Once it's completed, we will publish our new VPAT which details our compliance with the WCAG 2.2 AA standard.

campusM's new VPAT is published on the Clarivate website: https://clarivate.com/accessibility/campusm/
As we are still not fully compliant, we aim to be fully WCAG 2.2 AA accessible by EOY 2026.

Agree - we have received similar requests from both students and lecturers, especially around the ability to increase the text size

The React Native app already supports orientation switching on iPads, so it makes sense for this feature to be available on both platforms for consistency.
