Audio Description is the insertion of audio explanations and descriptions of key visual elements in films, TV, and other media. Responsibilities are as follows:

Instructor

Choose DVDs and videos that include audio description. A catalog is available.
To obtain DVDs and videos that include audio description for class use, contact Darby Orcutt at DH Hill Library.
When using a DVD or video that has audio description, or when showing a described TV program, check with the technical staff in your college or department in advance about the use of the equipment (i.e. how to turn on the audio descriptions).
If a described version is not available, your academic department will be responsible for covering the cost of live description. Contact Arts Access for more information.

Student

Contact your instructor and your DSO service provider immediately if course DVDs and videos are not described.
If the description is done live, contact the instructor and the DSO immediately to report absence or other problems.
Repeated failure to report your absence to the DSO could result in loss of services.
