Student Accessibility Services facilitates and coordinates communication access needs by scheduling ASL interpreters for your class, program, or event. Please provide as much notice as possible to secure an interpreter. Two week’s notice is a minimum, but SAS understands that some requests are last-minute. SAS will make every effort to fill the request, however, we can’t guarantee that an interpreter will be available.
Use the accommodation invitation when publicizing your event: “If you need an accommodation in order to fully participate in this event, please contact [name] at [phone or email] by [date] in order for us to make arrangements.”
Request an interpreter by emailing Kim Cummings, Manager of Interpreter Services: kcummings@qcc.mass.edu
or by calling 508-854-2728 (phone) or video phone at 508-502-7647 (Sorenson).
Please include the following information:
- Class/event name
- Date
- Time (start and end time)
- Location
You will receive a confirmation email and a possible request for more information in order to understand the theme, topic, or nature of the event.
If you have any questions about the interpreter’s role, please ask in advance of the assignment. Placing the interpreter in a place with adequate lighting and sight-lines is important for the deaf person to view the interpreter.
