Just a few thoughts:
1. Could the image be converted to PDF format?
2. Is the information visually structured, i.e. has text that appears to be
headings and paragraphs?
2a If so, then the image should be turned into an artefact in the PDF, and
additional Tags created, representing the structure, each with an alt that
reproduces the text.
2b. If not and it just has text or images that convey information, then the
alt attribute of the image would be enough, as long as it's value is the
information being conveyed, not the visual aspect.
3. That's a good question that should be put to the College.

HTH,

Bim
