1. What should I do if I have accessibility issues with the UA-PTC website?

To access this tool, visit any webpage at www.uaptc.edu and select the black “A” icon on the right hand side of any webpage. An example of this icon is below.

When this tool is selected, users can download different accessibility formats such as an electronic braille, mp3 audio for listening, and a beeline reader for retrieving website content. When using a mobile device, formats that are compatible with your phones device will only appear.
