Web pages that provide core institutional information (course web sites, registration,
advising, admission, catalogs, and student services information) are a priority.
If these pages exist in a non-compliant form, the individuals responsible for
these pages, need to make the conversion to an accessible form a top priority.
Also, units with web pages that contain core institutional information should
prioritize the process of retrofitting to ensure the pages used most are made
accessible in as timely a manner as possible.
The policy provides the following guidance for prioritizing web pages:
-
The top 20% of Web pages most frequently used (e.g. that get
the largest number of hits) should be placed in the first priority.
-
Pages required for participation, funding, disability-related
services and other key pages needed by people with disabilities, not already
in the top 20%, should also be placed in the first priority.
-
Each department or University entity is responsible for determining
the top 20% of Web pages used and other high priority Web pages.
-
Web pages specifically requested to be made accessible as
part of a formal accommodation request shall be made accessible as soon
as possible, or an equally effective alternative shall be provided. Equally
effective means that it communicates the same information in as timely a
fashion as does the Web page. Undue administrative or financial burdens
may contribute to a determination that alternative formats be used to provide
the information to individuals requiring use of the information.
