Submit your request online: 

Fall Course Materials Request

This accommodation is for non-textbook course materials (e.g., items uploaded to Blackboard or Canvas by your professor or linked in your syllabus). If your professor uploads a textbook on Blackboard or Canvas this would be a textbook request not a course materials request. Please identify in the form:

  • Types of materials you need converted (handouts, PowerPoint, articles, etc)
  • Format you wish to receive from our team
  • Comments for consideration (e.g., only need PDF files longer than 2 pages, hardcopy large print for on-ground courses, etc). 
  • If you need different formats for in person versus online classes

Once your request is received, the Accessible Media team will verify your courses and begin contacting your Instructors for access to materials. Please check your student email inbox regularly for communication about your request.

Questions or concerns?


ITS Accessibility Book Drop (unavailable as of 03/16/20):

If the Accessible Media team requests to scan in your physical textbook for purposes of converting into accessible format, please utilize the secure ITS Accessibility Drop Off box located outside of LI 2800 (ITS Offices). This secure lock box is monitored several times throughout the workday by our staff. Simply complete the "drop off card" available at the drop box and insert into your textbook (alternately you can email alternate.media@csueastbay.edu that you have left your book). Our team will provide an email update as soon as the item is retrieved and provide email updates during the scanning process.
