Accessibility: What is an ARC or VPAT?

Summary

When purchasing software, hardware, electronic content, or support documentation and services (known as information and communication technology, or ICT), clearly state your accessibility requirements up-front, so potential vendors and contractors (offerors) can propose the best solution for your needs.

Body

Before you purchase new hardware or software, or choose a textbook for your course, please request an Accessibility Conformance Report

Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) - A written ACR for each item, based on the product’s Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT™)

When purchasing software through IT Operations, we check to ensure there is an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR). If you purchase software without going through IT Operations, always ask the vendor for a copy of their Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR).
