Textbooks

The Student Disability Center handles all student requested textbook conversions into alternate formats. Please schedule to see your Specialist to see if you are approved for the service. Once approved, students are required to submit conversion requests each quarter to the Student Disability Center with proof of purchase. Afterwards, the SDC will attempt to request the file from the publisher or other higher ed units and can take up to a week to fulfill. If an electronic file can not be obtained, the SDC will cut, scan, and convert the book into electronic formats with student approval. This process can take anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks. Please note that Science and Math heavy books can take longer to process depending on wants and needs. 

Textbooks can be delivered through SmartSite or can be picked up on DVD from the SDC. Due to copyright concerns, third party cloud services are not used to distribute content. 

Please contact the Student Disability Center at (530)752-3184, or send an email to sdc@ucdavis.edu for more information.
