Accessibility by all is a top priority at Renton Technical College. This website has been designed using Drupal open source technology and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) for layout where possible. Due to limitations of CSS, there are still portions of the layout that require the use of tables. The site has been designed and coded with accessibility in mind.

RTC is committed to making all of our materials accessible. We are currently updating our website to comply with accessibility standards and to meet the needs of all of our visitors.
