The integrations follow the policy that is set to govern the ICT accessibility in the specific colleges. The integrations should also be legal regarding all the legal procedures and regulations of their respective colleges as well as the federal government rules and regulations. To make the project succeed in the proposed areas, the process of integration keeps its focus on the addressing the complete services and applications of the procedures and the cycle in the matters regarding compliance to accessibility and the assessments that follow the implementation of the ICT applications in the college setups (Bajt, 2011).
