our policy is that everything goes up on Moodle at least a couple of days in advance - our new "student charter" includes this provision.

Hi Ione,
This may not be too much help to you, but where I lecture (UPC), we load all our power points onto moodle before the academic year starts, so students can print them off in hand out format before the lecture and then add notes as we go along.
This is good practice, if your lecturers don't do this, then ask them to print off a copy and hand it to you at the begining of the lecture (no, its not expensive, its 2p a sheet to print/photocopy). You should also have a scheme of work so you know what you will be studying each session and can prepare before hand.
Ask nicely but firmly
Gillian

Hello
I'm a dyslexic undergraduate student who is trying to get my university department to upload lecture handouts/powerpoints on their virtual learning system at a reasonable time before the lesson. Generally reading texts are uploaded a few days before. Handouts and powerpoints are not always uploaded before the lesson (sometimes not all). My needs assessment marks this as a reasonable adjustment (the alternative being prints at the start of the lecture which I appreciate is very expensive and would personally prefer avoid). I would greatly appreciate is any advice on
what other universities do?
what you would consider reasonable - basically good/best practice?
any other relevant thoughts?
Many thanks
Ione
