Disabilities affecting access to printed materials may qualify for text (e.g. textbooks, articles, handouts, etc.) in an alternative format such as audio or enlarged text.  Students may be required to provide historical and/or recent documentation regarding the diagnosis that substantially affects accessing printed material and complete an Intake Interview with Accessibility Services (AS).
