Alternate Media Production Policies 

Saddleback College will make available, upon request, in alternate media, any publication it offers to the general public such as the college catalogue, announcements about cultural or recreational events sponsored by the college, job announcements, etc.  Nevertheless, since most requests are likely to come from students, the primary focus in these guidelines will be to provide instructional materials in accessible formats.
