The ICT Accessibility Assessment Committee (AAC) will review the product or service for compliance using the results from the test and the procurement application form. The AAC can approve the purchase, recommend acceptance based on contingencies, or reject the purchase. A rejected product or service can be submitted to the larger ICT Accessibility Compliance Committee for consideration when an exception to the policy is being requested.To speed up the process, we are asking for the  Manual Accessibility Evaluation checklist (.docx)  the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template  (provided by the vendor), and ICT Accessibility Procurement Form Draft (.docx)  to be submitted at least two weeks before weekly scheduled AAC meeting. Please email the completed form to paict@ot.syr.edu to start the review process. We are also asking that you prepare to answer questions about the purchase at the meeting
