The AEC provides sign language interpreting for students whose primary language is American Sign Language (ASL). To request sign language interpreting through the AEC, please follow these steps:
- Meet with an Access Advisor to receive a referral to the Sign Language Interpreting and Transcription Coordinator.
- Submit request to send faculty notification letters in AEC Connect as soon as you have registered for classes. Late requests may result in a delay in interpreting services.
- Requests for services beyond regular classroom hours (extracurricular) must be made ten working days in advance.
If you know you are going to miss class, notify the interpreter coordinator as soon as possible that you will not need scheduled interpreting services. The coordinator should receive notice at least one business day in advance when you are planning to miss a class.
If you are running late, the interpreter(s) will wait 15 minutes after a class or other scheduled event start time. If you know you will be running later than 15 minutes, contact the interpreter coordinator and they will inform the interpreter(s) to wait until you arrive. The interpreter(s) will be dismissed after the designated wait time if the student does not indicate they will be attending or do not show.
If an interpreter does not show up for a scheduled class, contact the interpreter coordinator as soon as possible. If possible, a replacement will be sent.
