Interpreter Services for Students

For students who have a documented profound hearing loss or deafness and for University-sponsored events that require an interpreter, the Office of Sensory and Testing Accommodations will schedule qualified sign language interpreters.

For Students:

1. Immediately after registering for classes, students requesting interpreter services must inform the Coordinator for Interpreting Services or their Resource Facilitator (RF) of the classes and times for which interpreters will be required.
2. The Coordinator/RF will endeavor to schedule interpreters in accordance with interpreter qualifications and experience.
3. Additional interpreting requests for any campus event can be arranged by contacting the Coordinator/RF in a timely manner.

For University-Sponsored Events:

1. Complete an Interpreter Request And Verification Form (IR/VF) no less than two weeks prior to the date of the event.
2. The Coordinator of Interpreting Services will notify the event representative via email or in writing of the name, rate, contractual conditions, and billing method for the interpreter to be used at the event.
3. Billing will be submitted for interpreting services if there is a fee for service involved. In many cases, there will not be a fee charged.
4. To cancel services, the DRES Office of Sensory and Testing Accommodations must be notified no less than 48 hours prior to the scheduled start of the event. In the event of lesser notification, the event sponsor will be charged at the identified individual hourly rate for the minimum number of hours stipulated if there was a fee for service.
