DEAF SERVICES STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES

1. You will be provided with an interpreter(s) as requested for this semester.  We will try to place you with an appropriate interpreter(s) to meet your communication needs.
2.
If you feel that you cannot work with the interpreter(s), you will need to report the problem to the Deaf Services Coordinator to assess the problem.  If necessary, we will find a replacement.  It is important to remember that the number of interpreters in South County is low; therefore, we need to try to work with the available, qualified interpreters as best we can.
3. If you do not plan to go to class for whatever reason, call the Disability Resource Center Office 24 hours in advance. TTY number is (408) 846-4924 or Voice number at (408) 848-4891.
4. If you are taking an evening class and our office is closed, please call the Deaf Services Coordinator at (831) 320-4951. Interpreters require 24-hour advance notice, or they can charge us for their time.  Some of our interpreters drive from long distances, so try your best to notify our office as soon as you know you will be absent.
5.
Keep in mind that if you are consistently absent, or tardy to your classes, your instructor(s) has the ability to penalize your grade or drop you from the course, according to his/her grading procedures.
6.
If you plan to drop a course, let us know as soon as possible.
7. If your interpreter does not show up, or is consistently late, please report to the Disability Resource Center Office and we will try to find help.  If you are taking an evening class, please contact the Deaf Services Coordinator at (831) 320-4951.
8. Student questions regarding interpreting should be addressed directly to the Deaf Services Coordinator, Carrie King, Library 105.
