Student Disability Services (SDS) provides captioning and interpreting services for qualified students. Some examples include:
Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART)
CART, also known as real-time captioning, is a service frequently provided to people who are deaf, hard of hearing or have other qualifying disabilities. A professional service provider captures spoken word in real time. This spoken word is then transmitted to the user electronically in real time and provided in the form of a transcript.
Students should work with their access coordinator to request CART services.
University departments who would like to secure real-time captioning at a sponsored event should complete the Captioning Request Form.
C-Print/Supernotes
C-Print and Supernotes are note-taking services provided by a professional captionist. The captionist is present in the classroom and seated separately from the student. Students are provided with a condensed transcript to reference after class.
Sign Language Interpreting
SDS works with local agencies to provide qualified interpreters for classes, lectures and University sponsored events.
Students should work with their access coordinator to request sign language interpreting services.
University departments who would like to secure sign language interpreting services at a sponsored event should complete the ASL Interpreting Request Form.
