  Your counselor will review your accommodation needs and discuss whether having your course materials converted into alternate media format will assist you with your course work. You will need to provide documentation of your disability to be approved.
• Attend an orientation meeting with an Alt Media Staff
  You will need to make an appointment with the alternate media specialist once you have been approved for services. (614)287-5910.
• Schedule CSCC Courses and buy required textbooks for your class
• As soon as you have scheduled your classes you will need to:
