How to Submit SLI Request

To request a sign language interpreter (SLI), at least 3 business days (excluding weekends/holidays/summer hours) advanced notice in writing is required if the SLI is needed for any meetings with DSS or other CTC departments.

Written requests must be submitted to DSS by emailing DSS@ctcd.edu with the following required information (incomplete requests will not be accepted):

  • Reason the SLI is being requesting
  • Date, time and location for the SLI request

Due to coordination time for DSS to secure the SLI, late requests that fall outside the required 3 business days’ notice will not be accepted and new request that meets our deadline requirements will need to be submitted. Disability documentation may be required by DSS before DSS approved any scheduling of the SLI.

If the SLI is needed for registered classes - students must follow the accommodation request process.
