A statement from SAIL will be provided to the faculty that should be
included in the Syllabus regarding the use of any electronic
materials/websites/videos or hyperlinks, as follows:
“It is my goal that this class be an accessible and welcoming experience for all
students, including those with disabilities that may impact learning in this class. If
anyone believes the design of this course poses barriers to effectively participating
and/or demonstrating learning in this course, please meet with me to discuss
reasonable options or adjustments. During our discussion, I may suggest the
possibility/necessity of your contacting EFSC’s disability/accessibility services
department (SAIL) to talk about reasonable academic accommodations. You are
welcome to talk to me at any point in the semester about course design concerns,
but it is always best if we can talk at least one week prior to the need for any
modifications. The instructional media and materials for this class are designed to
be accessible to all students. Students who are having difficulty accessing them
should contact the faculty member.
Requests for this category do not need
to go through the ETAC Committee.
SAIL Statement shows there is a policy
and procedure in place in case of
student need and are handled on an
individual basis.

accessible in accordance with applicable law (including Section 504 and 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and Americans with

Yes No
2. Has your product been subject to an accessibility conformance testing process?

3. Are accessibility features considered a functional requirement of your product?
