Accessibility

Our Commitment

Asan Holdings LLC, doing business as Astral Fellows, is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards to make our website and applicant portal accessible to the widest possible audience.

Accessibility Standards

We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities and more user-friendly for everyone.

Our efforts include:

• Using semantic HTML to ensure proper document structure
• Providing text alternatives for non-text content
• Ensuring sufficient color contrast between text and backgrounds
• Making all functionality available from a keyboard
• Providing clear and consistent navigation
• Ensuring forms are properly labeled and provide clear instructions
• Supporting screen readers and other assistive technologies

Program Accommodations

Astral Fellows is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to participants with disabilities. Our remote program format already provides flexibility, and we work individually with participants who need additional accommodations.

Accommodations may include:

• Extended time for assignments and deadlines
• Alternative formats for program materials
• Captioning or transcripts for live lectures
• Flexible scheduling for synchronous sessions
• Assistive technology support
• Other reasonable accommodations based on individual needs

To request accommodations, please contact us as early as possible in the application or enrollment process so we can discuss your needs and make appropriate arrangements.
