Alternative formatted material includes audio, large print, electronic text, Braille, and other specialized formats of textbooks, syllabi, and other class materials.

According to copyright law, LSS can only provide alternative formatted materials to students with a verified print disability.  A print disability is defined as a disability that interferes with a student's ability to read, comprehend, or manipulate (hold, turn pages) traditional text.  It is the student's responsibility to request alternate format prior to the beginning of the semester, if possible. The conversion process is often lengthy, as each text is formatted specifically for individual students' needs.  Later requests may result in resources not being available at the beginning of the semester.

To request alternative formatted materials: Contact LSS (lss@linfield.edu), Melrose Hall 020, 503-883-2562, as soon as possible.
