[Athen] Section 508 Refresh - Now In Effect?

[Leyna Bencomo]

My understanding is that ICT that is currently compliant under the old Section 508 is fine.  However, if technology or content changes after January of 2018, it must comply with the new Section 508.

Subject: [Athen] Section 508 Refresh - Now In Effect?

Good morning all,

Here we are on March 21, 2017. Does that mean that the refresh of Section 508 is now in effect?

I have not heard anything to contrary, but I certainly could have missed something.

What is the general thought - is this the standard that you and your institution will now follow?

Thanks for your input,

Lori
