Important updates to Smartsheet

Clemson University’s Procurement and Business Services informed Smartsheet on August 12, 2024, the University will no longer permit license purchases or renewals of Smartsheet due to Smartsheet’s inability to support accessibility as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). 

Clemson University strives to create an accessible environment for all its community. Therefore, it is essential any tools used to conduct business conform with ADA accessibility standards.  

Sunsetting Smartsheet at Clemson 

Sunsetting Smartsheet places Clemson on a path towards federal compliance with Title II of the ADA.  

Steps to Compliance: 

• Beginning August 12, P-Cards may no longer be used to purchase licenses or renewals for Smartsheet products.  
• Faculty and staff currently using the product must begin a sunsetting plan and navigate to other options.
  • If you need assistance with this process, faculty and staff are encouraged to reach out to their area’s IT Consultant. They can connect you with alternatives or help you in this transition.
