NIU is committed to providing electronic and information technology (EIT) that is accessible according to state and federal law.

• Accessible Electronic and Information Technology Policy
• Federal Rehabilitation Act - Section 508 Refresh
• Illinois Information Technology Accessibility Act 2.0

The law recognizes that sometimes exceptions must be made.

However, an equally effective alternative must be available when a person with disabilities needs to use the EIT.

Ask the vendor if there is a timeline to accessibility compliance.
