    DSS Coordinators will talk with students about accessible course materials readily available through the bookstore. The accessible technology coordinator will provide direct links for students to access these materials.

    Increase the number of students accessing digital course materials directly from the bookstore.

    75% of students needing alternate formats are able to access the materials directly from the bookstore.

    During the Spring 2022 semester, 95% of students with alternate format accommodations had the option to purchase one or more of their required textbooks directly from the bookstore. All required textbooks were analyzed, and 84.25% were available directly through the bookstore in digital format while 15.75% of digital copies had to be found through another source.

    Digital textbooks through the bookstore are a great option for students who need their textbooks in alternate format. DSS Coordinators and the Accessible Technology Coordinator will continue to communicate this option to students.

    The DSS offices will administer a pre-test starting in November 2021 to all new students receiving disability support services. A post-test will be administered to the same students in May 2022.

    The number of surveys distributed and completed will be tracked. Assessment data will be collected and recorded.

    The goal is to receive pre- and post-test results for 50% of new students receiving Disability Support Services in Spring 2022.

    The timeline for this goal has changed. The post-test for the first cohort will be administered starting July 1. The survey link has been created. Institutional Research will collect the data and response percentages will be calculated at that time. The pre-test for the second cohort will also start on July 1.

    Survey results will help DSS determine what might be done to improve processes. The results of this assessment project will assist DSS in planning for the next assessment cycle.
