Alternative Textbooks & Course Materials

Student Accessibility Services provides alternative textbooks to students with disabilities on an individualized basis. Accessible formats of textbooks enable students who utilize assistive technology, such as text-to-speech software, to have equitable access to their courses.  

In order to access the alternative textbook accommodation, students need to provide the book information (Book Title, Author, ISBN #) and proof of purchase to Student Accessibility Services.  Students should submit alternative text requests upon enrollment in courses for the upcoming semester as to ensure access at the start of the next term.
