Subject: Important – New ADA Title II Compliance Requirement – April 24, 2026
Valued supplier,
This is a critical compliance notification; if you are not the appropriate contact at your company, please forward to the correct contact.
We are reaching out to inform you of new rules for digital accessibility under Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act that apply to all state and local government entities, including all public higher education institutions.
Under these new rules, all web content, mobile apps, and kiosks must fully meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards, including systems and content that are only used internally by employees, are behind a login, and that we license or procure from suppliers. The products and services you provide may fall within these categories.
In order for Oregon State University to continue our relationship with your company, your products and services must conform to the WCAG 2.1 AA standards for digital accessibility by April 24, 2026.
Action Recommended: In preparation for these changes, we recommend that you:
- Prepare a WCAG 2.1 AA or WCAG 2.2 AA Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) using the latest version of the VPAT for all of your web, mobile, and kiosk systems that we use.
- If there are gaps, prioritize bringing your systems into compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA by April 24, 2026.
- If you are unable to bring your systems into compliance with WCAG 2.1 AA prior to April 24, 2026, prepare a remediation plan that shows how and when your systems will become compliant.
- Be ready to send your latest Accessibility Conformance Report, remediation plan, and answers to all HECVAT 3.06 accessibility questions (ITAC-01 to ITAC-09) when requested.
