Requesting Interpreters Scottsdale Community College provides federally mandated interpreter services for qualified students who are deaf or hard-of-hearing.
All student interpreter requests are processed through the Disability Resources & Services Director or Program Advisor. Requests are processed on a first-come, first-served basis with priority given to currently enrolled students. Interpreters may be provided fo r classes, educational activities, and college-sponsored events or activities. The need for interpreters for academic classes takes priority.
Procedure- Pre-register for classes.
- Within seven days following pre-registration for fall and spring semesters, fill out the Request for Interpreter Form in DRS. Attach a copy of your class schedule.
Special Requests for Interpreter Services
Special requests could include, for example, tutoring sessions, SCC-sponsored activities, and/or required field trips.
At least three (3) working days in advance of the activity, provide the DRS Director with a Request for Interpreter Form. If travel is involved, two weeks advance notice is required.
Note: If a student does not meet these deadlines, SCC will attempt to provide, but cannot guarantee interpreter services.
To Cancel Interpreter Services- Notification received less than 24 hours in advance, but more than 30 minutes before class, is considered a late notice.
- Notification received less than 30 minutes before class is considered a “no-show.”
- Two late notices are considered one “no-show.”
- Three “no-shows” a class results in suspension of Interpreter services. Reinstatement of services requires a formal request to the DRS Director or Program Advisor.
Note: Due to severe shortages in qualified sign language interpreters, DRS must prioritize interpreter assignments based on appropriate use of services. Suspension of services due to “no-shows” places a student at the bottom of the priority list. |
