How to obtain this service

Contact your Accommodation Specialist to determine your eligibility and appropriate accommodations. Once approved, request your accommodations each term via the AIM Database.

Accommodations such as ASL interpreting, TypeWell transcribing, communication access realtime translation (CART) and captioned media are available to assist Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing students in both credit and noncredit college courses and related activities. Requests should be made 4 weeks prior to the term. Requests made with less than four weeks' notice may be difficult to fill by the first day of class.

If you are eligible to receive Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing accommodations, you are encouraged to use early registration. Contact Student Accessibility Services to find out the dates and make an appointment for early registration.

If you don’t use early registration, you will need to register for classes in My Chemeketa then input your requests into the AIM database as soon as possible to allow enough time to schedule accommodations. Requests made with less than four weeks notice may be difficult to fill by the first day of class.

To request accommodations for academic activities outside the regular classroom—such as field trips, meetings with instructors, tutoring appointments, etc.—contact Disability Services to complete a request for sign language interpreter/transcriber form.

It is your responsibility to look over class syllabi for field trips or other activities that occur outside the regular classroom, and request accommodations as soon as possible. Requests for these events may take up to ten business days.
