What is alternate media?
Alternate media is defined as instructional materials, textbooks, college publications, and/or library materials in formats accessible and usable by individuals with print disabilities. Examples of accessible formats are MP3 audio, Read Write, large print, Braille, captioning, and e-text.
Alternate Media Services will only be provided to students who have a verified disability and whose disability-related functional limitations prevent them from reading regular print.
DSPS Students may fill out this form to request audiobooks.
