How to get assistive technology support and request course materials conversion:
- First, meet with an AEC advisor to receive a referral for Altformat services.
- Here is a short video on what to expect in an advising appointment
- To request a textbook to be converted, please email your Altformat contact.
- We will start by searching for an existing electronic version to modify to meet your needs
- Physical textbooks can be cut, highspeed scanned, and rebound with a spiral coil
- Physical textbooks can also be manually scanned without removing the binding
- E-books, depending on the file type and platform may also qualify for conversion
- More information about requesting textbooks for conversion can be found in this short video
