Alternate Format of Printed Materials
As the university is committed to ensuring access for persons with disabilities, upon request, literature and information about the university will be provided in alternate formats. For support in meeting this obligation, ODA offers guidance or assistance to all campus departments.
Students requiring alternate format to access books, literature, and information must inform ODA in advance of their need, as the university requires a reasonable amount of time to obtain and convert the information into a usuable form. All students receiving Document Conversion services must complete a Document Conversion Use Agreement form. A copy of this form can be found in Appendix B of the online ODA Manual.
Textbooks are available in alternate formats through the Book Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic (RFB&D) or textbook publishers, or can be converted by ODA. Students who use alternate formats of textbooks or reading materials should preregister and inform ODA of their schedule.
Students receiving notes from note takers that will require conversion into an alternate format should inform ODA of this need and make plans on how the notes will be forwarded to or from ODA.
Instructors needing assistance to ensure course materials are accessible (brailled, enlarged, e-text, etc) should contact ODA ahead of time.
