The U.S. Department of Justice issued a new rule under the Americans with Disabilities Act requiring all digital content used in university programs, services, or activities to be accessible by meeting specific technical accessibility standards. This includes digital content obtained or purchased from vendors.
Accessibility is a shared responsibility. This guide shares information on accessible procurement and evaluating for accessibility when exploring possible vendors.
For additional support, please contact the Deputy ADA Coordinator.
