Accessibility Compliance Update
On Monday, April 20, the federal government published an interim rule that provides a one-year extension of the deadline for complying with the Department of Justice’s Rule on Accessibility of Web Content and Mobile Applications. This extension should be viewed as an opportunity to continue—not pause—accessibility work. WSU still has an obligation to provide equal access to programs, services, and activities. Under existing federal (ADA and Section 508), state (USER-01), and WSU (UPPM 10.45) laws and policies, all WSU electronic and information technology (EIT) and digital content must be accessible regardless of the DOJ compliance deadline.
Please review the Guidance on the DOJ’s Extension of Accessibility Compliance Dates, published on web.wsu.edu.
This year, departments should:
- Continue building accessibility into new and updated digital content,
- Prioritize remediation of high-impact and high-use materials (e.g., public-facing websites, instructional materials, forms, and required student processes), and
- Create a remediation plan.
