How AMAC Works
The Alternative Media Access Center (AMAC) is an initiative of the University System of Georgia and is committed to removing barriers and providing access to knowledge for individuals with learning, physical, sensory, and print-related disabilities. AMAC partners with the educational institution and acts as a conduit through which the institution provides textbooks in a variety of alternative formats.
- The student is responsible for identifying and registering for classes as soon as possible. Once the class has been selected, the student is responsible for obtaining the required reading list, purchasing the texts and providing that information to the Disability Service Provider (“hereinafter, DSP.”)
- The DSP then contacts AMAC and orders the required texts.
- AMAC provides the text in the student’s preferred alternative format. However, if the text is not available in that format, then AMAC will provide the next available format.
- Once the text has been converted, if it is in an electronic format, it is posted online to the student's account within the AMAC Student Center. The file will be available to the student for the remainder of the current semester.
- AMAC will notify the recipient of the file transfer using the primary email address on file for the recipient.
- If the material is available on CD, it is transferred to the DSP’s office or mailed directly to the recipient using the most current mailing address on file.
Finally, AMAC provides a myriad of hardware and software to assist recipients of its services in accessing text in a variety of alternative formats. Some of these tools may be unfamiliar to you. AMAC has a toll free help line to assist you in using the hardware and software that we provide. You may contact the Customer Support line at 1-866-418-2750 to obtain assistance.
