WCAG 2.1 AA Conformance
| Success Criterion | Status | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| 1.1.1 Non-text Content (Level A) | PASS | |
| 1.3.1 Info and Relationships (Level A) | PASS | |
| 1.3.2 Meaningful Sequence (Level A) | FAIL | Document structure provides logical reading order: Page 1: The structure tree is completely disconnected from the visual content. It lists headings and paragraphs in a sequence that does not match the document's actual content (e.g., it lists H1, P, H2, H3 before the actual title '2024 Winter SCHEDULE').; Page 1: The table structures are missing from the tree. The visual layout contains multiple tables (e.g., for ADM JUS 001, ADM JUS 104, etc.), but the structure tree flattens these into generic paragraphs or lists, failing to identify them as tables. |
