Accessible College Forms

for

I have a client (who will remain nameless) who needs to make sure all of the
college admissions forms they are using are accessible. It appears they are
using old forms created with Quark and saved as PDFs. Clearly these are not
accessible. I have suggested using an on-line application system, but I am
not sure if they have the capacity.



What are folks around the US using for college admissions forms to meet
accessibility standards?



It appears a number of institutions are using Common App
http://www.commonapp.org/ Given their client list, I would think that this
system meets accessibility standards. Anyone have ideas?
