Technical information about Peoplesoft Campus Solutions' accessibility 

The University of Derby is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018.

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.

Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations

Users may not be able to navigate every page within the website using speech recognition software. The issue is mainly identified on our configured dashboards. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.1.1. We are looking to resolve this issue by Sept 2021

There may be some instances where we have used visual characteristics to communicate information.  Specifically, there are pages where form fields are positioned as groups that share text labels. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.3.1. We are dependent on Oracle providing a fix to these issues in their bi-annual release

There are a few instances where keyboard-only users may not be able to access all the content, specifically within the Academic Workspace and OLE (Online Enrolment) pages. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.1.1 (keyboard). There are projects currently in progress to replace OLE and improve the academic offering which will both ensure compliance with WCAG criterion

There are a few instances, mainly within the BI Publisher pages where keyboard-only users may not be able to access all the content, specifically blocks of links. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.1 (bypass blocks). We are dependent on Oracle providing a fix to these issues in their bi-annual release

Users with moderately low vision (who do not use contrast-enhancing assistive technology) may not be able to view some content due to an insufficient contrast of the text against the background colour. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 1.4.3. We are looking for a solution to this issue

Users may not always be able to determine the purpose of every link from its link text, specifically within the Academic Workspace and OLE (Online Enrolment) pages. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.4.4. There are projects currently in progress to replace OLE and improve the academic offering which will both ensure compliance with WCAG criterion

It may not be clear to users what input data is expected based on the instructions or labels within the page. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 3.3.2. We are dependent on Oracle providing a fix to these issues in their bi-annual release

There are a number of parsing (coding) issues, including elements with duplicate attributes, which can affect accessibility technology. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 4.1.1 (parsing). We are dependent on Oracle providing a fix to these issues in their bi-annual release

HTML autocomplete tokens have not always been added to forms collecting information about the user.  Where role, state, and value information have not been appropriately defined on the user interface components (such as buttons) these are not compatible with assistive technology, such as screen readers, screen magnifiers, and speech recognition software. This does not meet WCAG 2.1 success criterion 3.3.2

How Peoplesoft Campus Solutions is tested

We tested the PeopleSoft Campus Solutions website using the 'Accessibility Insights for Web' tool with Google Chrome browser.

As the website has a significant number of pages, we tested a selection of those that are most widely used across the organisation.

What are we doing to improve accessibility? 

We have a rolling programme of updating content in accordance with the guidelines set out by the WCAG.

Any future customisation of the core website where it is developed and implemented by the University of Derby is subject to meeting the WCAG requirements.  As such, the University takes responsibility for ensuring accessibility guidelines are followed with each new development to ensure no additional non-compliance is introduced.

It is the responsibility of Oracle as the third-party supplier to provide accessibility fixes and enhancements to the core product in line with WCAG guidelines. Oracle provide these fixes and enhancements to us (the University of Derby) through the delivery of bi-annual patch releases.

We first prepared this statement on 6 January, 2021. We are logging every change we make to this page.
