How Does Accessibility Apply to Me?<\/h2>\n

Vendors are not required to make their products or environments accessible by law, but the university is. When the university enters into a contract agreement with a vendor that does not offer an accessible product, the university may be found to be out of compliance through discriminatory practices. Whether creating, adopting or purchasing digital content and\/or tools, all faculty, staff, administrators, and student groups must all ensure accessibility standards are met.<\/p>\n

The scope of these requirements includes but is not limited to software systems (e.g., Instructure Canvas), productivity software (e.g., Microsoft Office), as well as digital content and courseware (e.g., Pearson MyMathLab).<\/p>\n

For faculty, staff, administrators, and student organizations, those selecting digital content and tools must take steps to ensure that the federal standards (WCAG 2.1 AA) are met.<\/p>\n

If the underlying tools and technologies are not accessibility compliant, then our university community may not be able to engage with our information.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
