THE WSG HAS GROUPED UCSB Web sites into three tiers, based on various factors — association with the University identity, sphere of influence, frequency and volume of use, expected lifetime, and other factors. A Web site's position reflects how strongly we believe that site should adhere to WSG standards. All campus units, regardless of the tier, should make every effort to comply with WSG accessibility recommendations. The tiers are described below, followed by examples of selected sites in each tier. Other sites will be added in the future.

Tier 1

WSG strongly urges Tier 1 sites to adhere to WSG standards.

Tier 2

WSG recommends that Tier 2 sites adhere to WSG standards.

Tier 3

WSG encourages Tier 3 sites to adhere to WSG standards.
