Alternative Format Materials and Procedure
Policy
The Office of Student Accessibility is committed to providing required course material in alternate formats to those who have a documented need for it in order to access the courses in which they are enrolled. Commonly used alternate formats include but are not limited audio recordings, e-text, and Braille. The Office of Student Accessibility has the right to select the process for acquiring and delivering alternative format materials.
To facilitate timely delivery of your converted materials please make your requests as early as possible, but at least 3 weeks in advance of when you will need the materials.

You will need to provide the following:
