Orientation is designed to acquaint the interpreter with DSS, as well as with the campus. Most inquiries will be answered at the time of orientation or within this manual. Also, the DSS staff is always available to assist the prospective interpreter in any way. Orientation for interpreters will be held before the beginning of the Fall semester, Spring semester, or individually under special circumstances. Occasional variations in the schedule happen throughout the semester.
Adjustments often occur during the first few weeks of the semester.
Our first priority is to cover classroom and associated duties. DSS does reserve the right to reassign an Interpreter at any time. Explain that you are a substitute. All interpreter assignments originate in the DSS office, including all substitute interpreting. This form is available outside the Lead Interpreter's office.
