What our crawl found on calpoly.edu
Counts from our September 23, 2026 crawl, which visited 1,000 pages. Our crawler found 2,015 public documents on calpoly.edu — an estimated 115,170 pages your team would otherwise inventory by hand.
The crawl stopped at its page limit, so every count here is a minimum: the site has at least this many documents.

No single category dominates this inventory — the largest bucket is uncategorized material at 78% — so a short sampling pass is the fastest way to establish remediation priorities.

Checked sample
17 of 50 passed(34%)
- Passed basic checks: 17
- Did not pass: 33
The checked files are mixed: some pass the basics and some don't. Fixing the templates you publish from now, while working through older files in batches, usually saves the most time.
The rate covers the 50 files we checked, not all 2,015 documents. Checks cover tag structure, document language, title, image alt text and form-field labels.
Scanned share
2% scanned
Most of the collection is digital-native text, which keeps remediation at the lighter end: tagging and structure work rather than OCR.
Scanned images need text recognition (OCR) before they can be tagged.
Forms are a small part of this inventory (3%), but each one needs labeled fields and a working tab order before someone using a screen reader can fill it in.

Show all 49 filesShow fewer
1 more checked file is counted above but not linked here: it is on another site or its name looks like a personal record.
What each check looks for
- Tagged structure
- The file has a tag tree, so assistive technology can tell headings, lists and paragraphs apart.
- Document language
- The file declares its language, so screen readers pronounce it correctly.
- Document title
- The file has a document title, shown instead of the file name.
- Image alt text
- Every image in a tagged file carries alternative text, or the file has no untagged images.
- Form field labels
- Every fillable form field has a label a screen reader can announce.
How we measured this
1.Crawl
We start at the organization's website and follow its sitemaps and links on the same site. We respect robots.txt and crawl delays, and skip login areas.
2.Classify
Each document is sorted by file format and, from its link text and file name, into a category such as forms or agendas. Page counts are estimated, often without downloading the whole file.
3.Check a sample
We open up to 50 PDFs and run basic machine checks: tags, document title, language, image alt text and form-field labels.
4.Publish only with evidence
Figures appear only when a crawl finds at least 25 documents and checks at least 20 of them.
Limits of this method
- We only see public pages we can reach through links or sitemaps. Documents behind logins or on other services may be missed.
- Crawls stop at page, document and time limits. When one is hit, the counts are minimums.
- Categories and page counts are estimates from links, file names and file metadata.
- Machine checks can't judge reading order, alt text quality or table structure. Passing them is not WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.
- Figures describe the site on the crawl date, not today.
This page's evidence
- Crawled September 23, 2026: we fetched 1,000 pages from https://calpoly.edu/ and found 2,015 documents.
- The pass rate comes from machine checks on 50 of those documents, not from checking every file.
- Changelog: September 23, 2026 — inventory refreshed from the latest crawl.

≈ 222,490 credits for 115,170 estimated pages
- 3,315 form pages at Level 3 (field labeling and tab order)
- 2,237 scanned pages (OCR plus Level 2 tagging)
- 109,618 standard pages at Level 1
This is a directional estimate from crawler statistics, not a quote. Run the remediation cost calculator with your own page counts for a tailored figure.
What DocoMatic does
- Finds the PDF, Word, PowerPoint and Excel files on your website and estimates the backlog.
- Fixes documents at three levels, from basic tagging to complex forms.
- Checks every fixed file, with veraPDF PDF/UA-1 validation from Level 2 up.
- Human review: turn it on when you request a fix, or arrange it with our team.
- Monitors your site so new documents don't rebuild the backlog.

Frequently asked questions
When is California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo's ADA Title II deadline?
April 26, 2027. California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo is in the 2027 cohort under the Department of Justice's rule on web and mobile accessibility for state and local governments, with compliance dates as set by the Department's interim final rule of April 20, 2026 (91 FR 20902).
How was California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo's deadline set?
The Census Bureau calculates no population for California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo — it counts it as part of another government rather than a separate one. The rule then uses that government's population: 39,538,223 (State of California, 2020 Census). That is at or above 50,000, so the earlier compliance date applies.
How many public documents does California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo have?
Our crawl on September 23, 2026 fetched 1,000 pages from https://calpoly.edu/ and found at least 2,015 documents (it stopped at a crawl limit), an estimated 115,170 pages. The full file-level list is available to verified staff after claiming the page.
How many of California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo's documents pass accessibility checks?
17 of the 50 files we checked passed basic machine checks (34%). That is a sample of the 2,015 documents we found, and passing basic checks is not full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.
How much would it cost to fix California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo's documents?
Our directional estimate is $44,498 to $66,747 with DocoMatic: about 222,490 credits for 115,170 estimated pages, based on this crawl. It is not a quote.
Which documents should California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo fix first?
Start with what current students need: syllabi, admissions, registration and financial aid forms.
Do older PDFs have to be made accessible too?
Not all of them. Documents already posted before the compliance date are excepted unless they are currently used to apply for, gain access to, or participate in the organization's services, programs or activities (28 CFR 35.201(b)). Genuinely archived content is excepted too, but only while it is kept solely for reference, research or recordkeeping, sits in a clearly identified archive area and is not changed. Everything published from the compliance date on is covered, and so is any older file people still use to reach a service.
