Notes
The purpose of the Accessible Media & Technology (AcMe) program in the Office of Disability Services (ODS) is to implement accommodations for students needing various types of accessible formats. AcMe produces these formats, coordinating with students and faculty as needed. Faculty are never asked to make alternative formats, although we welcome and encourage faculty interest in making their course content more accessible. ODS’s Keep C.A.L.M. (Choosing Accessible Learning Materials) content is a great place to start.
If you have questions after reading the following information, we welcome you to make an appointment for an AcMe consultation by calling 540-568-6705 or email disability-svcs@jmu.edu.
