Hi Bryan, we usually find that this can be funded via the DSA - taped materials, braille and large print.

Does anyone have a view as to who is responsible for funding the
transcription, in to tape audio format, of texts not produced or
published by the university? It should be the responsibility of the
university / college in the case of handouts, and marketing materials
that they produce. But who pays for transcribing texts not produced by
the institution, e.g. published articles or stories a visually impaired
student would need for the course? My thinking / assumption is that it
should be the institutions responsibility, but an RNIB transcription
service suggest that the student's DSA could be funding it.
