The DRC provides reasonable accommodations for students who are deaf or hard of hearing. Accommodations may include, but are not necessarily limited to:
Students are encouraged to contact the DRC to register and discuss their needs once they are admitted so their accommodations can be arranged. In order to receive timely sign language interpreting services, students requiring sign language or oral interpreters should contact the DRC two weeks prior to the date services are needed. Students who are requesting services from the DRC are required to submit documentation to verify eligibility and support requested accommodations. Students must submit current documentation that clearly states that the individual is deaf or the degree of hearing loss with a current audiogram. The age of disability documentation for individuals who are hard of hearing is dependent upon the student's condition and the nature of the student's request for accommodation. If one's hearing loss changes, documentation will need to be updated to support change in accommodation.
