Special Requests for Interpreting or CART Services:

Canceling Interpreting or CART Services:

1.Notifying the Interpreter/CART Supervisor less than 48 hours in advance but more than 60 minutes in advance is considered a LATE NOTICE.

2.Failure to contact the Interpreter/CART Supervisor or scheduler less than 60 minutes in advance is considered a NO SHOW.

a. Two LATE NOTICES are considered one NO SHOW.
b. If the student receives three NO SHOWS in any one class, the services for that class will be suspended.
c. Reinstatement of services requires a formal request to the DRC Disability Access Consultant for deaf/hard-of-hearing students.
Note:

Students experiencing sudden illness, accidents, or injury should contact their Disability Access Consultant as soon as possible in order to avoid receiving a NO SHOW.

3.Service providers will wait five minutes for every half-hour of class time, with a maximum of 15 minutes, to verify class attendance before leaving. After that time, the student will be given a NO SHOW.

Note: Due to severe shortages in qualified sign language interpreters and CART providers, the DRC must prioritize assignments based on appropriate use of services. Suspension of services due to NO SHOWS places a student at the bottom of the priority list for all enrolled classes and related activities.
