Alternate Text Format
Alternate Text Accommodation Policy:
If a student's Comprehensive Advisor recommends an alternate text format, the following options are available:
- The student may use the Kurzweil software in the Assistive Technology Lab or the Library as an alternate text format
- The student may use recorded textbooks through WVWC's Institutional membership with RFB&D; however, these tapes and CDs must be used within the Test Lab or the Technology Lab, 8:00 AM - 4:45 PM Monday - Friday.
- The student may pay the personal individual membership fee to RFB&D* ($100 1st year, $35 annually for renewing membership).The Technology Coordinator will assist the student in the ordering process each semester. If a student chooses this option, he or she will be able to use the tapes and CDs at any location, including his or her dorm room.
*Recordings for the Blind and Dyslexic (RFB&D) is a non-profit service organization that provides recorded educational materials to persons with visual perception disabilities. Students interested in registering with RFB&D for an individual membership should see the Technology Coordinator in Haymond 215A.
Special note:
- RFB&D's tapes are recorded on special 4-track cassettes. Since this is a different format from 2-track cassettes sold in stores, the RFB&D tapes cannot be used with standard tape players. A specially adapted, 4-track tape player is needed to use recorded textbooks.
- RFB&D's CDs require special software or hardware to be played. Please visit www.rfbd.org for more information.
