Declaration on accessibility

Accessibility

Information on the accessibility of these web pages in accordance with § 9b NBGG and on the relevant contact options.

Clausthal University of Technology makes every effort to make its websites and applications accessible in accordance with legal requirements. To improve accessibility, a working group has been set up that regularly exchanges information.

This accessibility statement applies to:

1.) www.tu-clausthal.de and subdomains, but not to other websites and subdomains that are not offered via TU Clausthal's central web content management system.

These websites are largely compatible with the requirements of the harmonized European standard EN 301 549 V2.1.2 (08-2018).

2) Other uses and applications:

As Clausthal University of Technology provides a large number of online services and electronic resources from third-party providers on its websites, it has not yet been possible to fully complete the accessibility check of such online offerings.

Non-accessible content:

• PDF documents
• Videos/voice recordings
• Special documents with special formats

The content listed is not accessible for the following reasons:

• The website of Clausthal University of Technology is being adapted and optimized in accordance with EU Directive 2016/2102 on the implementation of accessible internet for public sector bodies. The identified deficits and shortcomings are currently in a continuous improvement process that is being successively worked through. In the case of documents provided electronically or online, frequently used and easily adaptable documents are prioritized.
• Large number of documents
• Videos
• External content
