Accessible Computing
Visually Impaired Access Stations
The Visually Impaired Access Stations are available to all current visually impaired students, faculty, and staff of Texas Tech University. All current ATLC policies will apply to the Visually Impaired Access Station (e.g., eRaider accounts are required). If a conflict arises between existing ATLC policies and the guidelines for use of the Visually Impaired Station, the following guidelines will prevail:
- If a visually impaired person needs access to the computer and the Visually Impaired Station is occupied, then regular ATLC wait list guidelines will apply.
- The regular wait list guidelines, which include a two-hour time limit, will not be imposed on a visually impaired user unless another visually impaired user needs the station.
Questions on the clarification of guidelines for the Visually Impaired Access Stations may be directed to the Technology Support Academic Facilities Manager.
1 Dell Optiplex PC
Available in the Open Access Area
Additionally, both PC-1 Lab and PC-2 Lab have VIAS stations. These stations are identical to those in the rest of their respective labs.
Disabled Access Priority Area
The Disabled Access Priority Area (DAPA) in the ATLC Open Access Area is available to all current students, faculty, and staff of Texas Tech University; however, priority is given to disabled users who may have physical difficulty using the computers in the micro labs due to mobility problems (for example, users in wheelchairs). A disabled user has priority over non-disabled users on the wait list for the DAPA.
These machines are identical to those in the Open Access Area.
