Types of Equally Effective Alternate Access Plans (EEAAP)

The Equally Effective Alternate Access Plan (EEAAP) is a commonly used tool at universities to create and document a plan for providing equally effective alternatives* when a Digital Technology can not be made directly accessible to persons with disabilities.

There are several types of EEAAPs available for the UMS community.

More Information

• Standard EEAAP - The standard EEAAP template is available from the EEAAP instructions page.
• Departmental EEAAP - University departments may rely on a group of technologies that share similar barriers and alternate access plans. For example, a department may rely on several different 3D CAD software packages. In this case, a Department EEAAP (DEAAP) that identifies the characteristics and names of the softwares covered, and a common plan for accommodations for those technologies may be proposed by the sponsor.  Department EEAAPs follow the same approval process as Standard EEAAPs.  Similar technologies employed in the future, may be added to the DEEAP, after approval by the Digital Accessibility Coordinator.
