Project Description: This project improves accessibility for students using the my.uchicago.edu site to carry out academic and financial transactions by adopting Fluid components custom built by the University and delivered by the underlying Oracle service. The Fluid platform is built with accessibility issues in mind and is part of the roadmap for future Oracle development. Adopting the Fluid platform for student transactional components on the my.uchicago.edu site will improve accessibility and position the University for support from Oracle in the future.
Project Purpose/Business Need: The goal of the my.uchicago.edu move to Fluid project is to enhance the accessibility of the student portal in support of the Web Properties and Digital Accessibility policies and to improve the student web experience within the portal for students who use accessibility tools.
