Scheduling of Interpreters

Ideally, the scheduling for interpreters is completed prior to the first day of each semester. Interpreters are scheduled and assigned based on the following:

• students' mode of communication and personal preference.
• interpreter's skills, availability, background, and preference.
• class demands.

The Interpreter Coordinator will contact the interpreter with a projected schedule, and the interpreter has the opportunity to accept or decline the assignments offered. The interpreter will then receive a hard copy of the schedule as it has been accepted.

All interpreting assignments that are performed for a WSU activity must be scheduled through the Office of Disability Services. If a student requests an interpreter to interpret a meeting of any kind that occurs outside of class, please refer the student to the office to complete a "Request for Interpreter Services" form.

Textbooks to help the interpreter prepare for the interpreting of classes may be requested from the Office of Disability Services.
