Electronic Text (E-Text), Braille, Enlarged Text
If an approved accommodation for the student is converted text, the student must request this service through the Text Conversion Lab. To receive a textbook in alternative format the student must submit a list of the books to be converted to the Coordinator for Text Conversion. This list must include the title, author, edition, ISBN number and the date of publication. This information can be obtained from the iCampus portal. The due date of this list will be sent to all active text conversion clients each semester. Book lists submitted by this designated date will receive first priority for completion by the beginning of the following semester.

Absolutely no outside disks will be allowed in computers at Disability Concerns.
Ten accessible campus computer labs are available and can meet the student's computer needs. These labs are located in each of the residence hall complexes, Milner Library and Stevenson Hall 250 Computer Labs.
