The university sometimes must utilize information and communications technology (ICT) that do not meet the applicable federal and state standards for accessibility. When this occurs, campus policy requires that the inaccessible technology be approved by the Technology Accessibility Review Committee TARC) prior to use on campus. The exception process ensures that the access barriers presented by the accessibility flaws in an ICT are documented and that an equally effective alternative method of access is documented and will be implemented if the exception is approved.

Requirements

In order to submit an exception request, you must have the following documents ready for upload:

• Accessibility evaluation report
• Alternative Access Plan

The purchasing unit is responsible for ensuring that an accessibility evaluation was performed by an accessibility analyst on campus. Normally, the service owner of the technology that will be excepted is responsible for creating and implementing the alternative access plan.
