Document Accessibility Process

All documents that are uploaded to SUNY Brockport’s website must be made accessible through the following document accessibility process.

Web Team reserves the right to refuse any document that is copyrighted, belongs to another organization, is not the correct format for the website, or cannot be made accessible.

Send to Web Team

All documents to be uploaded to the University’s website need to be emailed to webteam@brockport.edu. They should already have been made accessible before sending. Upon receipt, the documents will be evaluated for accessibility. 

The Web Team will review the document and make one of four decisions:

  1. Whenever possible, the document will be converted into a web page by the Web Team. This is the most accessible option.
  2. If appropriate, the document may be converted into a MachForm.
  3. If the document cannot be converted into a web page or MachForm, the submitter must create an accessible Microsoft Office document and submit it to Web Team. 
    • Microsoft Office has a built-in accessibility checker to help make documents accessible.
  4. If the document is a fillable form that cannot be made into an MS Office document or a MachForm, the submitter must create an accessible, fillable PDF document and submit it to Web Team. 
    • PDF documents can be made accessible and fillable using Adobe Acrobat Pro.

Right of Refusal

As previously stated, The Web Team reserves the right to refuse any document that cannot be made accessible, is the incorrect format, is copyrighted, or that belongs to another organization.
