Disabled Student Programs and Services provides accommodations and support services for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students to promote equal access to educational opportunities and campus programs. Services may include sign language interpreting, assistive listening devices, note-taking support, alternative media, and coordination with faculty to ensure accessible classroom communication. DSPS works collaboratively with students to identify accommodations that support their individual communication needs and academic success in both in-person and online learning environments.
Interpreting Services
