April '26 Release Notes

Engage

Version 2604.1

Student-Facing

• Updated ARIA attributes on tabs and action buttons to use valid values and appropriate roles for improved screen reader support.
• Ensured scrollable content areas and off-canvas panels are fully accessible via keyboard navigation.
• Refined link presentation so links are visually distinguishable from surrounding text without relying on color alone.
• Added accessible names to form controls, including the student list select field, to improve usability with assistive technologies.
• Updated Room Info links to clearly distinguish “Student Remote Login” and “Student In-Office Login” destinations.

Events

Version 2604.5

Staff-Facing

• Enhanced color contrast on calendar elements, event section headers, and settings labels to meet WCAG 2.1 AA requirements.
• Added alternative text or presentation roles to images throughout the Events and Calendar pages for improved screen reader support.
• Added missing accessible labels and names to form fields, including text inputs, checkboxes, and select menus used in event filters, creation, and settings pages.
• Ensured all links include discernible text for clear navigation and context awareness.
• Improved overall keyboard and screen reader accessibility across the Events interface to support a more inclusive user experience.
  

Student-Facing

• Confirmed that event date/time, location details, and the registration completion “Cancel” button meet WCAG 2 AA color contrast requirements in student-facing event flows.
• Updated icon usage on the TargetX form–based registration page so ARIA attributes are appropriate for the icon role, improving screen reader compatibility.
• Verified that key interactive elements such as Register/Pay Now buttons are fully operable via keyboard for students completing event registration.

Online Application

Version 2604.3

Key Questions & Student-Facing

• Added guidance for the Key Questions page so images used in the rich text/element widget include descriptive alternate text; this must be manually added by clients in the widget’s source HTML.
• Confirmed key student-facing actions (Sign Out, Cancel on Edit Key Question, and Close on the Update Application Type popup) meet minimum color contrast requirements.
• Verified viewport settings on the main application, Snapshot Preview, and Key Questions pages to ensure zoom and scaling behavior are acceptable.
• Ensured embedded videos inserted via the element widget use frames with accessible names to support screen reader users.
  

Portal

Base Version 2604.9

Student-Facing

• Updated guidance for Portal Login and Forgot Password so viewport settings do not disable zoom or text scaling, supporting users who rely on browser or device zoom.
• Ensured avatar menu items and similar components use appropriate ARIA roles and parent-child relationships to improve screen reader navigation.
• Confirmed link styles on the Student Portal landing page are visually distinguishable from surrounding text without relying on color alone, with defaults using underlines and allowing further theming in CSS.
• Added guidance that embedded videos in portal widgets must include accessible names (for example, via a title attribute) when clients configure iframe-based content.
• Identified minor screen reader behavior refinements: ensuring buttons are announced as buttons (e.g., the login control on the Forgot Password confirmation), reading descriptive text as a single continuous block, and exposing meaningful names for app card navigation icons.
