Hiring a Sign Language Interpreter or Realtime Captioner: Campus event
The University is federally mandated to provide equal access in the facilities, programs and
services it provides. Equal access for some people means communicating through a sign language
interpreter or using RealTime captioning (RTC). If a UND student, staff person, faculty member
or a member of the public is deaf or hard of hearing, they may request that either an interpreter
or RTC be provided at a meeting or event your department is sponsoring.
*********************
If someone calls your department and requests sign language interpreting or RealTime captioning
for a meeting or event you are providing, follow these steps:
- Call DSS at 777-3425.
- Tell the receptionist you would like to schedule an interpreter or captioner, and she will help
you.
