Other Services 

Text Conversion 

DRES will charge departments $50/hr for conversion of teaching material for courses as well as research material for faculty and staff needing accessible documentation. If the department needs to use separate accounts for the material being converted, it is the departments responsibility to give DRES the billing information for each type of material. Departments will be charged at the end of the quarter. 

Closed Captioning 

For recorded materials including lecture capture and media to be shown in class, DRES’ Accessible Media Services (AMS) will add captions to the media file. Submissions are captioned in the order they are received, except that classes with students who are resisted with DRES will be given priority.
