Alternative print services

Accessible Course Materials and Alternative Formats

WSU Vancouver is committed to ensuring every student has equal access to the educational materials required for academic success. Through the Access Center, students with documented disabilities can request alternative print services to receive textbooks and course documents in formats that best suit their learning needs. Whether you require e-text, audio files, or enlarged print, our team works to bridge the gap between standard publishing and personal accessibility.

Navigating the transition to digital or specialized formats is a collaborative process. By utilizing the MyAccess portal, students at WSU Vancouver can manage their requests, upload necessary documentation, and track the status of their materials. We encourage students to engage with these resources early to ensure all required readings, syllabi, and supplementary videos are converted and ready for the start of their studies.
