If you would like your Course Textbooks and readings in Alternative Format:

1. Students are required to contact their professors to determine textbooks and other reading materials needed for all courses in which they are registered. The Bookstore also maintains a complete list of required reading materials for each of the courses. When requesting information about course materials from the Bookstore it is important to provide the name of the professor as well as the course number and section. E.g. ENGL 1205.1D.
2. Students are responsible for providing a copy of the books and other materials to be converted prior to the commencement of classes.
3. Contact Kim Penny with the name of your courses and the alternative format you prefer at least one to two months before your courses begins. The production of alternative format can take up to a month, so to ensure you receive your course textbooks on time, contact Kim as soon as you have your textbooks or other reading materials.
