  1. In the most timely manner practicable after receiving a written request for an electronic version of instructional material from a student with a print access disability, an institution shall provide to the student, at no cost, an electronic version of each requested instructional material that the institution determines is essential to the success of the student in a course of study offered by an institution of the System in which the student is enrolled.  2. If an institution receives a request for an electronic version of nonprinted instructional material from a student pursuant to subsection 1 to whom the institution would be required to provide an electronic version of the material pursuant to subsection 1 and an electronic version of the nonprinted instructional material is not currently available at the institution or at another institution of the System, the institution must contact the publisher of the nonprinted instructional material and request an electronic version of the nonprinted instructional material. If the publisher:  (a) Has an electronic version of the nonprinted instructional material, the publisher must provide the electronic version to the institution for distribution to the student; or  (b) Does not have an electronic version of the nonprinted instructional material, the institution must create and provide to the student an electronic version in the most timely manner practicable after the institution is notified by the publisher that the publisher does not have an electronic version of the nonprinted instructional material.  3. As used in this section:  (a) "Institution" means any university, state college or community college within the System.  (b) "Instructional material" means any published textbook and other published material that is used by students of the System. The term does not include nontextual mathematics and science materials unless, as determined by the Board of Regents, such materials are commercially available in a format that is compatible for use with equipment which is used by students of the System with print access disabilities to convert material into a format that provides them with the ability to have increased independent access to the material. The term includes, without limitation, nonprinted instructional material.  (c) "Nonprinted instructional material" means instructional material that is in a format other than print. The term does not include a website or Internet link that is associated with instructional material. The term includes, without limitation, instructional material that requires electronic equipment other than a computer or computer peripheral for the material to be used as a learning resource, such as a software program, videodisc, videotape and audiotape.  (d) "Print access disability" means a condition in which a person’s independent reading of, reading comprehension of, or visual access to printed material is limited or reduced because of a sensory, neurological, cognitive, physical or psychiatric disability.
