ASL interpreters support students with hearing-related disabilities by listening in class and translating lectures and discussions into American Sign Language.ÌýThey may also translate the student's signed communication into spoken English when the student is called upon, has a comment or question, or makes a presentation.

ASL interpreting services are scheduled by Disability Services upon request from the student approved for the accommodation.ÌýA student with a sign language interpreting accommodation will first submitÌýtheÌýÌýto Disability Services in order to initiate a request.ÌýDisability Services will then follow up with the student regarding their request. If a student submits a request directly to an instructor of the course, the instructor shouldÌýforward the request toÌýdscommaccess@colorado.eduÌýwith the student’s name and contact information.

The ASL interpreting service provider attending the class (remotely or in-person) may need to work directly with the instructor and Disability Services to gain access to the course materials and become familiar with course content.ÌýAll assignments and course-related information will be kept confidential.ÌýDisability Services covers the cost of ASL interpreting services for students approved for the accommodation.
