Current Students > Interpreters/Captionists
Interpreters/Captioners may be arranged for courses, for course-related activities such as lectures or films, and for other public events through Disability Services for Students. Deaf students typically make their own arrangements for Interpreters/Captioners with Disability Services, but at times faculty members or other University staff may also make such arrangements for events outside of the classroom. The following link to important documents and forms which will assist in making Interpreter/Captioner requests. Please feel free to download these.
The Interpreter/Captioner Fact Sheet discusses the nature of this auxiliary aide, a reasonable accommodation under the Americans with Disabilities Act. It describes both the purpose and limitations of this service.
Each student requesting Interpreter/Captioner services for their course work agree to the terms of this document each academic year.
