Basically, if it's content that is required to fully participate and benefit from the College's services, programs, and activities, it must be accessible or provide timely "Equally effective alternate access".



From the University of Miami Consent Decree<https://www.ada.gov/miami_university_cd.html>:



d. With respect to third-party content, websites, or applications that Miami uses for completion of critical or important transactions (e.g., websites used for campus housing, campus dining, registering for classes, paying bills, obtaining transcripts) or to complete required training (e.g., AlcoholEDU), either:



1. Cause such third-party content, websites, or applications to conform with WCAG 2.0 AA and this Decree; or



2. Provide equally effective alternate access to qualified individuals with disabilities until such time that conformance can be achieved pursuant to Miami's Accessibility Audit Corrective Action
