Accessibility statement
Built to be usable by every student.
Vistara Path aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, and tests against WCAG 2.2 AA success criteria where automated checks exist. This page states what has been tested, what has not, and how to report a barrier.
Status · Partially conforms, independent audit not yet completed
What has been tested
| Check | Result | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Automated WCAG 2.0, 2.1, and 2.2 A/AA rules (axe-core 4.10) on the home page, sign-in and account creation, the Campus portal, Institutional Readiness, and Privacy | 0 violations after fixes | November 9, 2026 |
| Text color contrast (WCAG 1.4.3, 4.5:1 minimum) | Low-contrast secondary text raised across the app | November 9, 2026 |
| Form labels, page language, landmark structure, and image text alternatives on the pages above | Passed automated checks | November 9, 2026 |
| Phone-width layout (375 px) for the home page and sign-in | Sign-in controls reachable on the first screen | November 7, 2026 |
Known limitations
- The signed-in workspace (Job Finder, Resume Tailor, Visa Plan, Campus Desk) has had the same contrast fixes but has not yet had a full automated or manual audit while signed in.
- Manual testing with screen readers (VoiceOver, NVDA, JAWS) and keyboard-only navigation across every workflow is not yet complete.
- Downloaded resume and cover-letter PDFs are not yet tagged PDFs, so screen readers may read them less reliably. The same text is available on screen and can be copied.
- Automated tools find only part of WCAG issues. No independent third-party accessibility audit has been completed yet.
Report a barrier
If any part of Vistara Path is hard to use with a screen reader, keyboard, magnification, or other assistive technology, email contact@vistarapath.com with the page and what happened. We aim to reply within 2 business days and to provide the information in another format while a fix is made.
Universities that need an Accessibility Conformance Report (VPAT 2.5, WCAG edition) can request the current version at the same address.
