Stukent Accessibility Charter
Our Commitment to Accessibility
At Stukent, accessibility is more than a checklist — it's a fundamental commitment to ensuring every learner can access the education they deserve. We see it as a human imperative. Technology should empower, not exclude, and we're dedicated to building a platform that opens those doors wide for everyone, including those who rely on assistive technologies.
Our target standard is WCAG 2.2 A and AA, the most current version of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, which builds on and includes all criteria from WCAG 2.1. We have chosen to aim directly for 2.2 because we believe our partners and their learners deserve a platform built to today's standard. We document our current conformance through a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT), in alignment with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.
Accessibility is an ongoing journey, and this report reflects where we are in it. Conformance levels vary by platform and are documented in full in the tables below.
Stukent, Inc. Accessibility Conformance Report
(Based on VPAT® Version 2.5)
Name of Product: Stukent Platform
Date: August 12, 2026
Contact Information: accessibility@stukent.com
Notes: Conformance with the WCAG 2.2 Success Criteria is scoped for full pages, complete processes, and accessibility-supported ways of using technology, as documented in the WCAG 2.2 Conformance Requirements.
Evaluation Methods Used: Evaluation of the product involved a combination of automated, manual, and functional testing against the applicable success criteria within the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Conformance Levels A and AA. Level Access (Level) tested a selection of the product using a representative sample to cover the components and functionality of use flows. Below is a list of the assistive technologies (ATs) used:
Chrome/NVDA
Safari/VoiceOver
Axe Dev Tools
Terms
The terms used in the Conformance Level information are defined as follows:
Supports: The functionality of the product has at least one method that meets the criterion without known defects or meets with equivalent facilitation.
Partially Supports: Some functionality of the product does not meet the criterion.
Does Not Support: The majority of product functionality does not meet the criterion.
Not Applicable: The criterion is not relevant to the product.
Not Evaluated: The product has not been evaluated against the criterion. This can be used only in WCAG Level AAA, which is outside the scope of this report.
Disclaimer Regarding Instructor-Created Content
Our platform provides tools to support accessible curriculum content — including alt text support for images and caption integration for embedded videos. While we encourage instructors to use these tools and provide guidance on creating accessible materials, the accessibility of instructor-created content is ultimately their responsibility. The same applies to any third-party content linked within the platform.
If a learner encounters an accessibility barrier in instructor-created materials, we recommend reaching out to the content creator or institution directly.
WCAG 2.2 Report
This report covers the entire Stukent Platform. We’ve organized our findings into three sections that reflect how our platform is built and used:
Classic Stukent: Our classic platform, hosted at my.stukent.com and covers all interfaces except for our Simulations, which are covered separately.
Stukent CTE: This is our latest platform, hosted at app.cte.stukent.com and covers all interfaces except for our Simulations, which are covered separately.
Simulations: Simulations are accessed from both platforms. Each simulation is individually audited across all A and AA criteria and findings for all criteria are noted in the remarks.
Table 1: Success Criteria, Level A and AA for Classic Stukent

Accessibility Roadmap
We are actively addressing accessibility issues across our platform Our goal is full WCAG 2.2 AA conformance — and beyond that milestone, we are committed to ongoing audit, remediation, and improvement. Our roadmap is as follows:
Complete audit of all simulations by May 15, 2026 (Completed)
Address issues (not including attachments, slides, and simulation resources) with all Simulations by Jul 31, 2026 (Completed)
Audit of Instructor/Teacher Interfaces for Stukent Classic and Stukent CTE by Sep 25, 2026
Remediation for Known Findings in Student Interface for Stukent Classic and Stukent CTE (including simulation attachments, slides, and resources) by Dec 18, 2026
Remediation of Instructor/Teacher Interfaces for Stukent Classic and Stukent CTE by Mar 26, 2027
Next Full Platform Audit Begins: Q4 2026
Please note: These dates are estimates and may be updated as new information becomes available. We'll reflect on any changes here as quickly as possible.
Note to Accessibility Teams and Auditors
Performing a review or audit of our platform, please reach out with findings or questions quickly. We deploy our platform at least weekly and your findings will get out of date rapidly. Please report specific accessibility issues via email at accessibility@stukent.com.
Requesting Accessibility Materials
If a learner requires an accommodation across any of our services, we recommend starting with your institution's Accessibility Services office or course instructor — they're best positioned to assess individual needs and coordinate directly with us. We partner closely with institutions and educators to provide the materials and support each learner needs, and we're glad to help.
How to Get In Touch
Questions about accessibility, a specific finding, or how we can support your learners? We'd love to hear from you.
For general inquiries, please contact your customer success manager.
To report specific accessibility issues or share feedback, please contact accessibility@stukent.com.
We're building a platform where every learner can fully participate — and we're glad to work alongside partners who hold us to that standard.
