Academic Accommodations & Electronic Content Conversion

Academic Accommodations: Any student seeking academic accommodations due to a disability must first register with Accessibility Resources by visiting https://www.broward.edu/accessibility/resources.html. If approved, and in accordance with Broward College Policy 6Hx2-5.09 (PDF), it is the student's responsibility to then deliver their accommodation plan in person or via email to the instructor and discuss accommodations for the class. Accommodations are not retroactive. Students who wait until after completing the course, or an activity, to request accommodations should not expect any grade to be changed, or to be able to retake the course or activity.

Electronic Content Conversion: All students in this class have access to Blackboard Ally, which is a tool that can easily convert electronic text into alternative formats such as MP3 files and readable PDFs. For information on how to utilize this tool, please visit the Blackboard Ally Help Page at https://www.broward.edu/accessibility/ally.html.

Accessible design is good design. Create your content/space with accessibility in mind and everyone benefits.
