There are many ways that you can digitize pages of notes to submit them to our online system. We need a decent scan of the notes where the page is not skewed and the print on the page is dark enough to see well. For scans we recommend scanning the document at 300 dpi resolution and saving it as a PDF.

IS&T Computer Lab Scanners

There are document scanners in all general purpose IS&T computer labs that you can use to quickly scan the notes. Please save the document as a PDF to upload it to the Disability Services Online AIM System.

Office Xerox machines

The Xerox copiers available around the campus can be used to scan documents and send them as a PDF to yourself as an e-mail.

To use a Xerox copier for sending notes:

1. If your notes are in a spiral bound notebook, it will be easiest to use the flatbed scanner and make copies of each page. Make sure the copies are clear and that nothing is cut off. Put the copies in the feed tray of the copier.
   OR
2. If your notes are on loose leaf paper, put them in the feed tray of the copier.
3. Select “Email”, and then “New recipient” in the menu of the Xerox machine.
4. Type in your email address when prompted, then press the Add button.
5. Press the Start button. The pages will be scanned and emailed to you.
6. Review the scanned pages to ensure that they are clear and complete.
7. Upload them to the Disability Services Online System
