Net Cost Increase Exception

The CSU has a specific exception based in California's Government Code Section 11135(c) (2).3. This section of the Government Code exempts the CSU from Section 508 Standards if it can be determined that the procurement of an accessible E&IT product will increase the cost to the campus.

To request a Net Cost Increase exception, submit the following:

The Section 508 Compliance Specialist will work with you to determine if the E&IT product(s) qualify for an exception and will notify Purchasing, if approved.

If the exception is approved, it is important to note that by statutory obligations, you must still provide an Alternative Means of Access to persons with disabilities.
