Starting for Spring 2024, we are only accepting requests for accessible textbooks and documents in the AIM Student Portal. Before you can request textbooks in our online system we need you to request your Accommodations in the AIM Student Portal. Please choose the Alternative Media options you are eligible for when requesting your accommodations. This will make the options for requesting accessible materials for the course available to you. There will be a table with bookstore textbooks when posted so you can quickly add books that you need in an accessible format. There is also a form so that you can add books or articles that are not listed by the bookstore. This is the way we are accepting submission for materials going forward.
