For students to receive the accommodation of SIGN LANGUAGE INTERPRETERS, CART, or closed CAPTIONING for classes, meetings, and student events they must be registered with the Office of Disability Services. Requests for ASL, CART, and Closed Captioning must be placed by requesting your Faculty Notification Letters in the AIM Student Portal. To Guarantee that we are able to accommodate a student using ASL or CART we need students to submit their requests for those services given the following advanced notice.

• 10 business days for classes
• 2 business days for meetings, events, or tutoring sessions

Your requests for those accommodations in regularly scheduled classes must be submitted by requesting your Faculty Notification Letter request in the AIM Student Portal. If you need an interpreter for course activities outside of class time, appointments, events, tutoring, or other campus activities we will need you to submit those request through the Custom Request form in the AIM Student Portal. We need those requests 2 days before the event which you need the service. The request cut off time is at 4:00PM 2 days before the event.

Closed captioning for content in classes should be prompted to start by requesting your faculty notification letters. If videos for your classes are not captioned let your Disability Specialist or the Alternative Media Specialist know so that the professor can be contacted. So that captioning of videos for classes is not delayed please request your faculty notification letters at least 10 business days before the start of your classes.
