AccessTech

Accessibility at Montana Tech

Montana Tech is in the process of ensuring our electronic materials meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 standards. As some of our buildings are over a century old, we accommodate students while preserving history. Main Hall, Engineering Hall, and Prospector Hall currently have no working elevators.

Our accessibility efforts include digital and physical. Please report accessibility barriers as soon as you encounter them so we can address them!
