What to Look For (Everyone)

  • Do links explain where they go?
  • Do you see ā€œclick hereā€ or ā€œread moreā€?
  • Why This Matters

Screen reader users often scan links separately from text. Vague links create confusion.

How to Fix It (Editors)

  • Use descriptive link text (e.g., ā€œApply for Financial Aid, View Financial Aid Waiver Formā€, etc.)
  • Avoid raw URLs.

Do / Don’t

DO

¶Ł°æ±·ā€™T
