How much lead time should faculty allow for conversion of class handouts and test materials (midterms, finals) to Braille or e-text (such as MS Word)?
At least two to three weeks before the date of the exam. More time may be needed if the exam includes many graphics/complex images, which will need to be converted to tactile graphics. Student Disability Services may send test materials to a Braille conversion company, depending on the complexity of content and/or in-house workload. If a test must be converted to an alternate format, faculty members should email the test or handout as an attachment directly to Severino Reyes
