自愿产品易读性模板(VPAT)

The University relies on the guidance provided by the 信息技术 Industry Council (ITI) Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT®) for a detailed report of the accessibility of a product or 服务. Ask vendors to provide an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) in the most current VPAT® format as proof of their product or 服务’s accessibility support.

产品易读性路线图

由其自行决定, the University may request a product demonstration of the accessibility support features of a given IT product or 服务. The vendor should be prepared to create a test account and provide a tour of the accessibility features (demonstrating both keyboard support and screen reader support) of their product via a web conference or in-person meeting.

保单豁免

Limited exceptions due to undue burden and non-availability may be granted from the policy where compliance is not technically possible, or is unreasonably expensive or difficult in that it may require extraordinary measures due to the nature of the digital content/resources. 然而, 在这些情况下，产品目前不符合规定, 将尽一切努力在规定的日期之前修复缺陷.

The conclusion of undue burden or non-availability is an institutional decision to be made by the 数码无障碍协调员 in consultation with the affected unit and others with relevant perspective or expertise. An exemption does not relieve the University from meeting legal obligations to make reasonable accommodations to users upon request to access the digital content/resources in an equally effective and accessible alternative manner.

Questions or concerns regarding compliance with the policy or standards should be reported on the 数字可访问性 Form (will create & 提供连结至表格).
