The first thing you must do to get an interpreter is to make an appointment to bring documentation of your disability to a deaf specialist advisor in room 6116. All interpreting services are scheduled on a first come, first served basis, so the earlier you register, the better. Interpreting services may be suspended for missing two consecutive class days with no effort to contact the Access Services Department. Services will be suspended until Access Services is contacted by the student. For more information on what other services are provided on the North Campus for someone who is deaf or hard of hearing review the Access Services Access brochure.
Many students can benefit from using the range of access technology available in our department.
Computers that talk, large print texts, special software that makes computer access easier for students with limited range of motion in their arms and a whole host of other adaptive solutions can be arranged in our department. If you feel that you can benefit from some of this technology, ask the advisor in our department with whom you are working to help you figure out what might help you the most. Once you have documented your disability with a advisor at Access Services the advisor will identify your accommodation needs. If those needs include a note taker an extra copy of your schedule will be given to the technical assistance specialist in charge of note taking and reading services. It is your responsibility to provide your note taker with paper.
