Summer Sweep

Building on the success of our document and video accessibility project from Fall 2019 and our first ever Summer Sweep in 2020, ¿ì»îÁÖÐÔÏ¢ will take targeted steps over three weeks this summer to make our web content, specifically public-facing PDF documents, more accessible.
Ìýinspired our approach, and over 50 colleges and universities joined them in 2020.
Due to the concurrent project toÌý, in 2021, we will not convert documents into new web pages. Instead, this summer we will focus on PDF forms.
"°ä³§±«±·ÌýÌýis a campus-wide initiative using technology to digitally transform processes for our students, faculty and staff. The initiative leverages applications such as Adobe Sign, my¿ì»îÁÖÐÔÏ¢box, OnBase, SOLAR, and others to create user friendly, efficient online processes using workflow and electronic signatures." ¿ì»îÁÖÐÔÏ¢'s eProcess+ team will provide guidance around options to replace public-facing standalone PDF documents with eProcess+ forms and processes.
Schedule
Week 1 – Current PDFs (June 28 – July 2)
The Universal Design Center will distribute a list of PDFs on division and college websites. Go through your list and remove from the site any PDFs that are outdated or unnecessary. Of the remaining PDFs, start to identify which of your PDFs can be converted to eProcess+ (or web) forms, and which are appropriate to remain public-facing PDFs.Ìý
