Railroad chalk is large chalk that makes bright and easy-to-see marks on standard chalk boards that can be seen by some students who have reduced vision. Responsibilities are as follows:

Instructor

The DSO will request that your course be assigned to a room with a chalk board.
Request in advance that your academic department office purchase a supply of railroad chalk. Your department can purchase railroad chalk from Dillon Supply Company or other vendors.
Make sure that the board is always clean to allow for the greatest visibility and contrast.
Write legibly. Make sure that the material on the board is large and clear.
Report any board problems to the Classroom Hotline at 515-1555 for University classrooms; the departmental office for other rooms; and to Cheryl Branker, Associate Vice Provost and ADA Coordinator.
