Accessible Media Delivery Guidelines
To ensure your requested materials are delivered to you before classes begin, please submit all requests immediately following your registration for classes. Students are provided the early registration date so that DSS has time to prepare the requested materials before the semester begins.
What if I cannot locate my textbook information?
Course instructors do not always identify their course materials early. If your class textbook information has not been posted on the Titan campus bookstore website, please contact the Accessible Technology Team at dssaccess@fullerton.edu with specific course information including the Course Name, 5-digit Course Number, and Instructor if listed. DSS will assist in locating the textbook information.
DSS will strive to provide students their requested accessible materials as soon as possible once the proof of purchase has been received. DSS cannot ensure course materials will be delivered by the first day of classes if the request is not submitted at least 4 weeks in advance.

Short Document Requests (Syllabi, PowerPoints, Journal articles, Notes, Handouts, etc.)

Requests may be delayed if the Accessible Technology Team is waiting for documents or further clarification from the student or the instructor.
