Electronic & Information Technology Procurement
Section 508 includes a set of accessibility standards for six categories of electronic and information
technology (E&IT) including web applications, hardware, software, telecommunications, multimedia, and
self-contained closed products like copiers, fax machines, kiosks, etc.
Sonoma State University must incorporate Section 508 standards as it develops or acquires new E&IT resources. Sonoma State University is required to purchase E&IT products and services that conform to the standards established for each category of covered items, if such are commercially available, and their purchase does not result in an undue burden or fundamental alteration.
