Non-accessible content

The following content is not accessible:
•   PDF documents embedded in the web presence
•   Videos embedded in the web presence
•   The currently used color tones do not all achieve the required contrast at a browser zoom factor of 100 percent.

Reasons:

  • Due to the large number of PDF documents made available that were created before 23.09.2018, it has not yet been possible to convert them to an accessible format. They will be successively adjusted.
  • The provision of the videos with an audio description could not be realized so far.

Accessible alternatives:

  • In case of non-accessible enrollment documents, please contact the Studierendensekretariat. In the case of examination regulations that are not barrier-free, please contact the Zentrale Prüfungsverwaltung. For other cases please contact us (see below).
  • The embedded videos are Youtube files. Here there is the possibility to fade in automatic subtitles.
  • When strongly magnified via the browser zoom, the necessary contrast is given. We are working on a fully accessible solution in this regard.
