For bulk requests (e.g., 2 or more files), please use the Accessible Media Bulk Request Form (Excel) and attach to an email to amp@gmu.edu.

For Kaltura users: If your videos are hosted on Kaltura, please tag each video being requested with “captions.” This ensures that the ATI staff can locate the correct videos corresponding to the request. Please submit all accessible media requests at least 7 days prior to the date needed.

Any Mason faculty and/or staff member can submit document requests. Priority is given to those faculty members who have a student with a documented print disability and is registered with Disability Services. All other requests will be determined on a case-by-case basis.

Before submitting your documents, the faculty/staff member must add the following:

For Word documents

Alternative text for all meaningful images, charts, graphs, and objects*

For multiple images on one slide, group image and then add alt text for the grouped image.

For PDF documents

Visit Accessibility Resource Videos and Creating Accessible Microsoft Office Documents on the ATI Website for additional guidance.

Turnaround Time: Please allow approximately 2 weeks to process your requests. Depending on the time of year, this timeline may be much shorter (e.g., several weeks after start of Fall/Spring semesters, Summer sessions).

Are you implementing a new website or web-based software application? Are you a faculty member using new technology in the classroom or your online course and need to know if it is going to be accessible to everyone? We can help!
