Accessibility

Statement last reviewed: November 5, 2026

The Mississippi Artificial Intelligence Network (MAIN) is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, including people with disabilities. We want every visitor to be able to find information, use our resources, and participate in MAIN programs and opportunities.

Our accessibility standard

This statement applies to mainms.org. MAIN uses the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA, as its technical accessibility target. WCAG explains how to make digital content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities and more usable for everyone.

MAIN is Mississippi’s statewide AI initiative and a program of Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College (MGCCC). As part of MGCCC, MAIN is covered by Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. The U.S. Department of Justice’s web accessibility rule for state and local governments uses WCAG 2.1 Level AA as its technical standard. Content that meets WCAG 2.2 Level AA also meets WCAG 2.1 Level AA.

What we are doing

  • Using clear heading structures, descriptive links, readable text, and consistent page organization.
  • Providing text alternatives for images that communicate meaning.
  • Designing pages to work with keyboard navigation, visible focus, screen readers, text resizing, and sufficient color contrast.
  • Reviewing new and updated content, documents, forms, and features for accessibility.
  • Using a combination of automated checks, manual review, and feedback from website visitors to identify barriers and guide improvements.

Ongoing review and known limitations

Accessibility is an ongoing responsibility. MAIN reviews the website as content and technology change and works to address confirmed barriers. Some PDF documents, older content, and videos may not yet fully meet our accessibility goals.

Some MAIN services run on platforms MAIN does not control, including Formstack, Microsoft Forms, Canvas, Coursera, and other course and partner platforms. If a third-party platform creates a barrier, we will help you get the information or service another way and will use reported barriers to inform remediation and vendor decisions.

Need help or found an accessibility barrier?

If any part of this website is difficult to use, or if you need information in an alternative format, contact MAIN by email at main@mgccc.edu or by phone at 228-897-4377. We will work with you to provide access to the information or service and to evaluate the reported barrier.

To help us respond, please include the web page address, a brief description of the problem, and your preferred way for us to contact you. You may also share the browser, device, or assistive technology you were using, but that information is optional.

For questions about MGCCC’s obligations under Section 504 and the ADA, or to file a complaint of disability discrimination, contact the MGCCC Compliance Officer at compliance@mgccc.edu or 601-528-8735.

We welcome accessibility feedback from all visitors. Reports help MAIN prioritize improvements and make our digital resources more useful to people across Mississippi.
