Display a single list of items in a quick, scannable format. The UCLA brands dictates that lists are ordered with numbers or bullets in #2774AE which is the “$ucla-blue” variable. Examples can be found here.

Usability Guidance

• Front-load the first two words of your headlines for easy eye scanning.
• Progressively disclose lists with more than several dozen items with a ‘more’ link or button.

Accessibility Requirements

• Use the <li> element for more than text-only lists. It’s a critical component in web accessibility. It tells non-sighted users if they’re about to browse a few items of content or hundreds. Any list of content such as news articles, calendar events, academic programs, etc. should be wrapped in <li> to communicate how many items belong in that list.
