[nabs-l] college ebooks question

[John Sanders]

Hi,
What makes it worse is that both of my classes I'm taking are 8 weeks long.
With out a reader and some one to write, it's going to be hard for me to get 
caught back up with the rest of the class.
It's my fault for not notifying the Office of disability supported services 
that I needed these accomidations ahead of time.
This is a lesson that I've learned and will make sure it doesn't happen 
again.
The community college that I'm going to is trying to go towards what my 
major University, Michigan State University is doing. That's not providing 
any accomidations at all.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
John Sanders

It's not just that.  Even once a receipt is turned in, it can still take 
several weeks to get the books.  And when you are dealing with a class with 
lots of reading, or is on an accelerated schedule, it can be fun trying to 
catch up.

Hi guys, this is Helga. I think buying the books and bring a receipt is not 
really so good. They are actually very expensive. It's not need for us to 
purchase books with our own money since we can't  read it and we are going 
to get an electronic copy of it. But the only way if we are buying the book 
is we have financial aid in order to buy them. But Financial Aid always 
comes four or two days before class and that is not good for us since we are 
not able to get our books in text or something! I think they should give 
Financial aid to all visually impaired studets and other disabled students 
in order to buy the books before hand so that they can give it to the DSS 
office! What do you think about this? Just curious! Hope to hear from you 
soon. Thanks so much and God bless!! :)
