Student Guidelines for ASL Interpreting and CART/Captioning Services

Student Responsibilities

• I am required to notify the Disability Services at accommodations@z3312.com within 24 hours when dropping any class.
• Semester class schedules must be finalized and submitted to Disability Services no later than one month prior to the start of classes. Failure to do so may result in a delay of services.
• I understand it is my responsibility to communicate directly with Disability Services and/or professors regarding scheduling requests, changes and/or class cancellation. Interpreters and/or captioning service are not responsible for notifying Disability Services and/or my professors of scheduling changes.
• I will notify Disability Services at least 48 hours in advance of a class if I am unable to attend the class for which an interpreter and/or captioning service is scheduled or of a class cancellation. I understand I will notify Disability Services via email at accommodations@z3312.com.
• If unforeseen circumstances make it impossible to give the 48-hour notification, I will still notify Disability Services of the absence. If no advance notification is given, I understand that the interpreter and/or captioning service will wait 15 minutes for me to arrive for the class. If I do not arrive within 15 minutes, the interpreter and/or captioning service will leave and report the absence to Disability Services via email at accommodations@z3312.com.
• In an emergency when no advance notification can be given, I will notify Disability Services via email accommodations@z3312.com of the absence within 24 hours after the absence. If I provide no notification for an absence, the absence will be considered an Absence Without Notification.
• I understand interpreters and/or captioning service are assigned based on their availability by Disability Services. Requests made for specific interpreters and/or captioning service will not be honored.
• I understand all interpreting and/or captioning service requests for non-classroom activities must be submitted through the online form provided on the Disability Services webpage. Interpreting services for non-classroom activities may include activities such as appointments at the math and writing labs, tutoring, advising, special programs, etc. The form must be submitted 5 business days in advance of the activity. Failure to clearly complete all sections of the online form may result in delay of services. The same notification of non-attendance is required for such an event, as listed above, for a class.
• Disability Services cannot guarantee any request for interpreters and/or captioning service at a non-classroom activity if the request is submitted less than 5 business days’ notice.
• After two Absences Without Notification within a semester, interpreter services and/or captioning service will be suspended. To have services reinstated, I must meet with the Assistant Director of Disability Services. Multiple absences without notification may result in referral for Conduct Review.
