Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services

The DRC provides various services to students who are deaf or hard of hearing. They can include sign language interpreters, real-time captioning services (CART), and note-takers. Questions regarding these services, or any other applicable Deaf/Hard of Hearing Services should be directed to DRC Consultant responsible for coordinating Deaf/Hard of Hearing services.

For students needing sign language interpreters or real-time transcription services (CART), it is important to follow these steps to ensure the timely delivery of services:

• Register with the DRC as early as possible to allow adequate time for planning.
• Register for courses during the priority registration period.
• Provide the DRC Consultant with a copy of a class schedule as soon as possible.
• Speak with the DRC Consultant to discuss interpreter needs for your classes.
• Notify the DRC Consultant of any changes in the semester schedule.
• Inform the Interpreter/Transcriptionist and the DRC Consultant of any absences, cancellations, or delays to the daily class schedule. An Interpreter/Transcriptionist will wait twenty minutes before leaving class or an appointment.
