This declaration was created on 20 October 2022.

Our website was independently tested via BITV test by third party Academic Hero according to WCAG 2.1. You can view the full test on which this declaration is based here.

The declaration was last checked on 20 October 2022.

This website is partially compatible with the Federal and State Disability Equality Acts (BGG & LGG), the Barrier-Free Information Technology Ordinance (BITV) and Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1.

HM Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences has a very extensive web presence of at least several hundred web pages. A large percentage of the pages were published before 23 September 2018. The technical implementation of accessibility is currently being successively carried out within a relaunch project. However, due to the disproportionate burden under the Federal and State Equal Opportunities Acts, the website is not yet completely barrier-free.

HM Hochschule München University of Applied Sciences is working on removing the existing barriers.

If you encounter

• barriers when using the website,
• content that is difficult to access,
• content that violates the general accessibility recommendations or is not WCAG compliant,
• or content that is unclear and should be expressed or worded differently,
• or have other questions about accessibility implementation,

If we do not process your feedback to your satisfaction, you can contact the conciliation board for barrier-free information technology. The conciliation body has the task of seeking solutions to disputes between people with disabilities or their associations and federal public bodies and settling them out of court. The conciliation procedure is free of charge. No legal counsel needs to be involved.

At present, the Ombudsman's Office of the Senate Chancellery is taking over the activities of the conciliation office, which has yet to be established.
