Sign Language Interpreting
*COVID-19 Update:*
Students requesting interpreters/captionists must be registered with DS to receive
these specific approved accommodations. "Live" synchronous sessions must have a DS
service request (interpreting/captioning) received for those services to be scheduled
and in place.
To request interpreting for a semester-long class
- Complete the Interpreting/Captioning Request for Academic Courses Form as soon as you register for classes. Once you hit submit, you should be redirected
to a response received confirmation page. Our department will also send an email confirming
receipt of your request within 2-3 business days. If you do not hear from a DS representative
within 2-3 business days, please reach out to Supervisor of Interpreting Services,
Sheryl Killen (skillen@cscc.edu), to confirm your interpreting request has been received.
- If you change your schedule, add or drop a class, you MUST inform the supervisor of
interpreting services immediately by submitting an updated request via the Interpreting/Captioning Request for Academic Courses Form and/or contacting Sheryl Killen via email (skillen@cscc.edu).
To request interpreting for a one-time event/meeting
Don’t forget!
- Be on time for your classes. The interpreter will wait 15 minutes for a one hour class
or 30 minutes for a class over an hour.
- If you know you will be late or if you will NOT be attending your class/meeting/event,
please contact the Supervisor of Interpreting Services at skillen@cscc.edu.
Note: If a student misses three (3) consecutive classes without informing Disability
Services, we may suspend services until the student meets with the supervisor of interpreting
services.
