• If you supply web content or a mobile app to a University of Wisconsin System institution, the institution must ensure that it is accessible, which the policy defines as conformance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA, unless the exception for a modification so significant that it alters the essential nature of the program, service or activity, or for significant difficulty or expense, applies (UW System Administrative Policy SYS 655, section 6); the policy takes effect April 26, 2027.
• Expect a University of Wisconsin System university to ask, in a request for proposals, a request for bids or a contract, that content you supply conform to WCAG 2.1 Level AA, that you provide a completed Voluntary Product Accessibility Template, and that you keep a system for reporting accessibility barriers and resolve them at your own cost; the guidance published with SYS 655 suggests this language without making it mandatory.
