Accessibility

Information on the accessibility of these web pages in accordance with § 9b NBGG as well as on related contact options.

This accessibility statement applies to:

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

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

2.) Other applications and uses:

Since TU Clausthal provides a large number of online services and electronic resources from third-party providers on its websites, the accessibility review of such online services could not yet be fully completed.

Non-accessible content:

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

The listed content is not accessible for the following reasons:

  • The web presence of Clausthal University of Technology is being adapted and optimized to comply with EU Directive 2016/2102 on the implementation of barrier-free internet for public bodies. The identified deficits and deficiencies are currently in a continuous improvement process that is being successively worked through. In the case of documents provided electronically or online, documents that are frequently used and easy to adapt are prioritized.
