What our crawl found on csub.edu
Counts from our September 22, 2026 crawl, which visited 1,000 pages. Our crawler found 1,898 public documents on csub.edu — an estimated 4,605 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.

No single category dominates this inventory — the largest bucket is uncategorized material at 46% — so a short sampling pass is the fastest way to establish remediation priorities.

Checked sample
11 of 50 passed(22%)
- Passed basic checks: 11
- Did not pass: 39
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 1,898 documents. Checks cover tag structure, document language, title, image alt text and form-field labels.
Scanned share
4% 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 13% of the documents. Forms take the most work to fix, since every field needs a label and a logical tab order.

Show all 47 filesShow fewer
3 more checked files are 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 22, 2026: we fetched 1,000 pages from https://www.csub.edu/ and found 1,898 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.

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 University-Bakersfield's ADA Title II deadline?
April 26, 2027. California State University-Bakersfield 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 University-Bakersfield's deadline set?
The Census Bureau calculates no population for California State University-Bakersfield — 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 University-Bakersfield have?
Our crawl on September 22, 2026 fetched 1,000 pages from https://www.csub.edu/ and found at least 1,898 documents (it stopped at a crawl limit), an estimated 4,605 pages. The full file-level list is available to verified staff after claiming the page.
How many of California State University-Bakersfield's documents pass accessibility checks?
11 of the 50 files we checked passed basic machine checks (22%). That is a sample of the 1,898 documents we found, and passing basic checks is not full WCAG 2.1 AA conformance.
How much would it cost to fix California State University-Bakersfield's documents?
Our directional estimate is $4,516 to $6,773 with DocoMatic: about 22,578 credits for 4,605 estimated pages, based on this crawl. It is not a quote.
Which documents should California State University-Bakersfield 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.
