What our crawl found on humboldt.edu

Counts from our September 22, 2026 crawl, which visited 1,000 pages. Our crawler found 356 public documents on humboldt.edu — an estimated 4,395 pages your team would otherwise inventory by hand.

The crawl stopped at its page and time limits, so every count here is a minimum: the site has at least this many documents.

  • Reports105 · 29%

  • Policies48 · 13%

No single category dominates this inventory — the largest bucket is uncategorized material at 35% — so a short sampling pass is the fastest way to establish remediation priorities.

Checked sample

8 of 50 passed(16%)

  • Passed basic checks: 8
  • Did not pass: 42

Most checked files are missing basics such as tags, a document title, a declared language or labeled form fields. Files made without accessibility tooling usually look like this, and they need structural work, not touch-ups.

The rate covers the 50 files we checked, not all 356 documents. Checks cover tag structure, document language, title, image alt text and form-field labels.

Scanned share

6% 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 make up 19% of the documents. Forms take the most work to fix, since every field needs a label and a logical tab order.

Show all 49 files

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. 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. 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. 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. 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 22, 2026: we fetched 1,000 pages from https://www.humboldt.edu/ and found 358 documents.
  • The pass rate comes from machine checks on 50 of those documents, not from checking every file.
  • Changelog: September 22, 2026 — inventory refreshed from the latest crawl.

Estimated cost with DocoMatic

$5,890 $8,834

≈ 29,448 credits for 4,395 estimated pages

  • 827 form pages at Level 3 (field labeling and tab order)
  • 214 scanned pages (OCR plus Level 2 tagging)
  • 3,354 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 State Polytechnic University-Humboldt's ADA Title II deadline?

April 26, 2027. California State Polytechnic University-Humboldt 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 State Polytechnic University-Humboldt's deadline set?

The Census Bureau calculates no population for California State Polytechnic University-Humboldt — 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 State Polytechnic University-Humboldt have?

Our crawl on September 22, 2026 fetched 1,000 pages from https://www.humboldt.edu/ and found at least 356 documents (it stopped at a crawl limit), an estimated 4,395 pages. The full file-level list is available to verified staff after claiming the page.

How many of California State Polytechnic University-Humboldt's documents pass accessibility checks?

8 of the 50 files we checked passed basic machine checks (16%). That is a sample of the 356 documents we found, and passing basic checks is not full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.

How much would it cost to fix California State Polytechnic University-Humboldt's documents?

Our directional estimate is $5,890 to $8,834 with DocoMatic: about 29,448 credits for 4,395 estimated pages, based on this crawl. It is not a quote.

Which documents should California State Polytechnic University-Humboldt 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.
