Interpreting

If this is your first semester requesting interpreting services, you must register with Disability Services. To be approved for services, you need to provide documentation supporting the accommodations you are requesting.  Please contact Marie Potts,mpotts1@cscc.edu to schedule this intake interview. Once you are approved for interpreting services, you will then need to contact the Coordinator of Interpreting Services with your specific requests.

Be on time for your classes. The interpreter will wait fifteen (15) minutes per class hour if you are late. If a student is not in the classroom, the interpreter will return to Disability Services for other assignments.

If you know you will be late or if you will NOT be attending class, please contact us: 614-287-3973 Coordinator of Interpreting Services

If a student misses three (3) consecutive classes without informing Disability Services, the interpreter may receive another assignment. We may suspend services when a student does not communicate with Disability Services regarding non-attendance.

Each student is responsible to report all changes and/or course cancellations to Disability Services. Our office will need to make schedule adjustments for the interpreting staff. The only way our office is informed is directly from each student.

Occasionally, an interpreter may be absent. Our office will make every attempt to schedule substitute interpreters for all absences. If we are unable to cover a class, we will attempt to contact the student and/or the faculty in the class. Our staff is willing to assist in any explanation needed with the faculty.

Arrangements for off campus events must be made a MINIMUM of one week in advance. The interpreter will not make the arrangements. Each student must contact the Coordinator of Interpreting Services to request interpreting services for any changes in your schedule.

Contact the Coordinator of Interpreting Services to cancel/ request interpreting services for classes, tutoring, meeting with faculty, financial aid appointments, etc.

Your cooperation will assist us with the daily schedules of interpreters.
