Alternate Formats Collection for Students with Print Disabilities
Services to Post-Secondary Students attending Manitoba's Colleges and Universities
The Post-Secondary Education Division allocates funds to the province's public post-secondary institutions, comprising the University of Manitoba, the University of Winnipeg, Brandon University, Red River College, Assiniboine Community College, University College of the North, and Université de Saint-Boniface which includes École technique et professionnelle. The Division also provides grants to the Manitoba Institute of Trades and Technology, the Canadian Mennonite University and to private religious institutions in Manitoba – Steinbach Bible College, Providence University College and Seminary, and Booth University College.
Post-Secondary students who are registered at any of the above institutions and have a documented perceptual disability are eligible to receive their required textbooks in the alternate format they require (braille, large print, e-text or audio).
Students, accessibility coordinators and instructors from the colleges and universities work with Manitoba Education staff to ensure student learning needs are met without compromising the nature and content of the text.
Students must register with the accessibility office at their institution, who will then contact Manitoba Education staff to facilitate the acquisition and delivery of their required materials.
