Linking to Third-Party Websites and External Resources
UMB websites may link to third-party resources for informational or supplemental purposes. Examples include research articles, news coverage, or reference materials.
UMB is not responsible for the accessibility of independent third-party web content or electronic documents. However, it is best practice to review accessibility before linking when feasible and to prioritize accessible alternatives when available.
When Accessibility Is Required
An external resource must meet applicable accessibility standards if UMB directs users to a third-party website or platform in order to:
-
Submit an application
-
Complete a required form
-
Register for a program or event
-
Access required materials
-
Participate in a University-sponsored service or activity
-
Complete any mandatory step in a University process
In these cases, UMB is responsible for ensuring that the required user pathway is accessible, even if the content is hosted externally.
