Accessibility. A website for everyone.
Academia Institute of Technology is committed to making its website accessible in accordance with the Accessibility of Websites and Mobile Applications Act (ZDSMA) and Directive (EU) 2016/2102. This statement applies to the website www.academia.si.
Contents of the statement
Level of conformity
The website is partially compliant with the requirements of the ZDSMA and the WCAG 2.1 standard at level AA because of the exceptions listed in the section Non-accessible content. The website was redesigned in 2026 following accessibility principles: semantic structure (one H1 heading per page, logical heading order), content images with alternative text, text contrast of at least 4.5 : 1, responsive display from 320 px, operation without a mouse, dialogues with focus management, ARIA labels on tabs and scrolling regions, videos with a poster and playback controls, and forms with labelled fields and error messages.
Accessibility settings
At the bottom left of every page there is a button Accessibility (shortcut Ctrl+U) that opens the settings. The settings are saved in your browser.
| Group | Options |
|---|---|
| Text | basic / larger / largest font, bold font, large headings, readable font with wider spacing |
| Colours and contrast | high contrast, inverted contrast, greyscale, underlined links |
| Cursor and motion | larger white or black cursor, reading guide, no animations, highlighted keyboard focus |
| Reset | the Reset button restores the default settings |
The website also respects the system setting reduced motion (prefers-reduced-motion): animations and glow effects are switched off in that case.
Keyboard navigation
| Shortcut | Action |
|---|---|
| Tab / Shift+Tab | next / previous element |
| Enter or space bar | activate a link or button |
| Esc | close a dialogue (video, settings, notice) |
| ← → Home End | move between tabs (curriculum, calculator) |
| Alt+1 | skip to main content |
| Alt+2 | skip to the enrolment form |
| Ctrl+U | accessibility settings |
At the start of every page there is a "Skip to content" link that skips the header and navigation.
Non-accessible content
Despite our efforts, some content is not yet fully accessible:
- Videos without subtitles and audio description (presentation video, student statements) – subtitles (VTT) are in preparation.
- PDF documents on academia.si (curricula, rules, diploma theses) published before 23 Sep 2018 are not adapted; on request we provide them in an accessible format.
- Embedded maps and external services (Google Maps, social networks) are exempt under Article 3 of the ZDSMA.
- The calculator and selector work with the keyboard; the "who pays" chart has a text description but is not interactive for screen readers.
Disproportionate burden:.

Preparation of the statement
