Accessibility Policy for Vendors

In order to comply with Sections 504 and 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 as well as the Americans with Disabilities Act, Tri-C’s Online Learning and Academic Technology department asks all current technology vendors to provide us with a current VPAT report, version 2.4 (rev. February 2020). VPAT stands for Voluntary Product Accessibility Template and is a document that explains how a particular piece of information and communication technology meets the standards set forth by WCAG 2.1 guidelines. Anyone with questions regarding the accessibility of a piece of technology at Tri-C should contact the Online Learning and Academic Technology department.

Vendors with questions about creating a VPAT or needing the current VPAT template can visit the GSA Government-wide IT Accessibility Program.
