Accessible course materials

There is a service for students who, as a result of a disability, are unable to access printed course materials. If you require your materials in an accessible format, the staff at the Disability Resource Centre (DRC) can arrange this for you. Accessible course materials are primarily produced in electronic format. If your disability makes the use of electronic files difficult, discuss your needs and other options with staff at the DRC.

The Student’s Responsibility

On being assessed as eligible for this service you will need to provide:

• Details of the type of computer hardware and software you use
• A current email address to which the course materials will be sent
• Your mailing address
• The names and codes of the units you are enrolled in (this needs to be done six weeks before the start of each semester)
• Details of any changes of enrolment

What the DRC will do

The role of the DRC staff is to assess a student’s eligibility for this service, assist students with identifying their needs, and forward a request for course material to the Knowledge Media Staff and the Library. Course materials will be produced in the requested format and forwarded to the student.
