Description

**User Story**
As a Student , I need to be aware of important changes in content (i.e. popup messages) - so that I can use screen readers if I am using assistive technology.

**Context**
- These issues were uncovered during our Accessibility Audit conducted by CITZ in March of 2024
- Detailed Spreadsheet for Student s inserted inline and also attached here: [2024_Student Application_Audit.xlsx](https://api.zenhub.com/attachedFiles/eyJfcmFpbHMiOnsibWVzc2FnZSI6IkJBaHBBN0xsQXc9PSIsImV4cCI6bnVsbCwicHVyIjoiYmxvYl9pZCJ9fQ==--578821d4addd12c1babcafba5c861e1f5456bc9c/2024_Student%20Application_Audit.xlsx)
- In content implemented using markup languages, status messages can be programmatically determined through role or properties such that they can be presented to the user by assistive technologies without receiving focus.

**The Problem**
When using the screen reader, I was not made aware of any popups with status messages or other important information.

**Student**
Adjust the following Accessibility Criteria for the following pages
- [ ] Login 1 and 2
- [ ] Profile
- [ ] Home page
- [ ] Start new application
- [ ] My applications
- [ ] File uploader
- [ ] Request a change
- [ ] Overawards balance

**Acceptance Criteria**
- [ ] Make users aware of important changes in content (i.e. popup messages) - even when they are using assistive technology like screen readers.
