Introduction
To comply with SUNY Policy 6901, Fredonia will need to review technology requests for Electronic Information Technology (EIT) Accessibility. The reviews are to be sure the software conforms to SUNY’s standards. In order to review a request, Fredonia must follow the Technology Request Process (TRP).
