Statement of Accessibility

Commitment to accessibility

The Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation (ONCC) is committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, and connection. Our organization is stronger when we appreciate the diverse backgrounds and invite the diverse perspectives of our customers and staff. Accessibility is inherently part of this value as we strive to ensure that the ONCC Website is a resource for all oncology nurses and interested stakeholders.

We recognize the importance of our website's accessibility and acknowledge its shortcomings in this arena. As such, improving accessibility is an ongoing effort as we learn more and implement lessons learned. We are grateful for our customers' understanding and patience as we continually improve our offerings.

Limitations and alternatives

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of the ONCC Website, there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known limitations, and potential solutions. Please contact us if you observe an issue not listed below.

Known limitations for the ONCC Website:

  1. Modals, menus, or forms: Some elements may not be fully operable via keyboard alone due to a combination of legacy content, limited editor control over certain interactive elements, and the ongoing challenge of maintaining accessibility. Accessibility audits and remediation occur annually. For support, please reach out to us at oncc@oncc.org.
  2. Forms (certification application): There may be missing labels or input descriptions, which could prevent screen readers from announcing the purpose of fields due to a combination of legacy content, limitations resulting from integrations with various databases, and the ongoing challenge of maintaining accessibility. Accessibility audits and remediation occur annually. For support, please reach out to us at oncc@oncc.org.
  3. PDF documents: Some PDF documents are not accessible due to a combination of legacy content creation policies, limited editor control, and the ongoing challenge of maintaining accessibility. Accessibility audits and remediation occur annually. For support, please reach out to us at oncc@oncc.org.
  4. Various: There may be unknown incompatibilities with certain assistive technologies, because if we are unaware of a given technology or its requirements, our website may not be compatible for use with that product. Accessibility audits and remediation occur annually. Please reach out to us at oncc@oncc.org with information about the technology in question and undesired behavior.
