Exception Request

The purpose of the exception request is to determine if a product qualifies for an exception from the university’s EIT Accessibility Policy. Limited exceptions may be granted in specific instances where compliance is not possible or would constitute undue administrative or financial burdens or where it would create a fundamental alteration. Exception requests may be submitted when a product purchase has been denied.
