Report a barrier

Individuals who believe that an EVMS Website or any related content does not meet the digital accessibility standard may report suspected non-compliance to accessibility@evms.edu. This email can also be used for digital accessibility requests or suggestions.

Request an exception

From time to time a department may be unable to meet the digital accessibility standards, and may request an exception. Exception requests may be submitted using the form below.

Departments requesting an exception must show that making a portion or all of an EVMS Website for which they are responsible compliant with the Policy would impose significant difficulty. 

Departments must make every effort to review and remediate content before considering an exception request.

Submission process

Requests must include the following information.

  • A link or links to the website, webpage, microsite, web application or social media channel in question, if applicable
  • Written documentation outlining the areas and scope of non-compliance
  • Detailed explanation of why compliance cannot be met

Exception requests will be reviewed by the Digital Accessibility Advisory Group. 

Once a decision is made, a meeting will be scheduled to discuss further actions needed to ensure compliance and to establish a timeline to ensure these actions are completed. 

  • Approved: The department must make available an accessible alternative
  • Denied: The department must remediate the content or document

Content or documents that remain non-compliant at the end of the agreed-upon timeline will be recommended for removal.
