  • Abstract
    The access to the Universities studies is one of the most important steps to obtain a total integration of the people with disabilities. Spanish laws about Web Accessibility, force to the public institutions, including Universities, to accomplish the basic normative WCAG since 2002. In this paper we present a study of the accessibility on the Spanish University´s Web sites. We want to determine how the level of fulfilment, 8 years later, is. It is focused on the selected Universities at “Campus of International Excellence” program and it analyzes the correctness of the accessibility´s normative and also the compliance to the standards of the grammar on the used languages.
