INTERPRETOR REQUEST
Ìý Ìý ÌýÌýINTERPRETING SERVICES FOR STUDENT GUIDELINES:
- I understand that if I am provided ASL Interpreting Services from Student Accommodation Services (SAS) at Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ (NPC), I accept and adhere to the following guidelines and responsibilities:
Communication:
- I will check my NPC student email regularly for messages from the Student Accommodation Services Coordinator, as this is the main channel of communication between SAS and me.
Ìý Ìý ÌýÌýREQUESTING SERVICES:
I understand I am responsible for registering for my classes as soon as possible and completing the ASL online request form a minimum of 4 weeks before the semester starts, allowing the SAS Coordinator time to schedule with the ASL Interpreting Service. I understand that if I make my request less than 2 weeks before the semester begins, then it is likely that I will not have an interpreter for my classes.Ìý
Absences:
- I will contact SAS by email, phone, or in person 24 hours in advance of any absences from class.
- If I do not give 24 hours notice of an absence, I will be considered a "No-Show".
- If I am going to miss a class on Monday, then I will contact the SAS by Friday afternoon to avoid being considered a "No-Show".
Punctuality:Ìý
- I realize the importance of being on time for class. I understand that the interpreter will only wait 10 minutes for each hour that the class is scheduled up to a 30-minute maximum. If I do not show up before the end of this waiting period, then I will be considered a "No-Show", and no interpreter will be provided.
- If I contact the SAS to let them know that I am running late, then it might be possible for my interpreter to be asked to wait for me to arrive.
Ìý Ìý ÌýÌýSUSPENSION OF SERVICES:
- I am allowed only two ''No Shows" per class or four "No Shows" overall per semester. I understand that if l am a "No-Show" three times in one class, or five times overall, then my interpreting services may be temporarily suspended. Services may only be reinstated after I meet with the SAS Coordinator.Ìý
- Once my services are reinstated, I understand that if I am a ''No-Show" again, then my services may be suspended for the rest of the semester, with a formal complaint going on my SAS records.Ìý
Changes to Class Schedule:
- I will notify SAS immediately if there are any changes to my class schedule (if I drop a class, room changes, etc.)
Interpreters for Outside of Class:Ìý
- If I need class-related interpreting services outside of a scheduled class time (e.g., teacher conference, field trip, etc.),
- I will make the request to SAS using the appropriate form, at least two weeks in advance.Ìý
Interpreting Problems:Ìý
- If I have complaints about an interpreter, I will first discuss it with the interpreter and then, only if the problem is not resolved, discuss it with SAS. I will report "Interpreter No Shows" to SAS immediately.
Ìý Ìý ÌýÌýCONDUCT:
I will not have personal conversations with the interpreter while he/she is interpreting in class. I will follow the College Conduct Standards. I understand that a violation of these Standards may result in suspension of services.
