Alternate Textbook Services
Many students encounter barriers with traditional print materials. Textbooks and other materials may not be equally accessible in the original format. We offer alternative format textbooks in PDF or Microsoft Word format. Students approved for the alternative format textbook accommodation must follow the steps below, in addition to Steps (1) – (4) on the ODAS homepage, in order to receive this accommodation.
ODAS is committed to providing your alternative format textbooks as quickly as possible. Students are encouraged to complete Steps (1) – (3) as soon as course materials are posted by the professor. Submitting the request two months prior to class start dates is strongly recommended. However, Electronic Format Textbook forms and textbook proofs of purchase will be accepted and processed by ODAS as promptly as possible regardless of when they are received by the office.
If you have any questions about the alternative format textbook process or about the status of any request for an alternative format textbook, please contact the appropriate ODAS office.
