- Students are responsible for informing DSS if the SLI arrives late or misses any assignment/class. After a service provider no-shows or arrives late, report it as soon as possible to DSS. It is the student’s responsibility to notify DSS of any problems with the SLI.
- Students are required to contact DSS at least 48 hours in advance to class, internship, or extern-ship start time if the student will be absent from class, internship, extern-ship, or if class has been canceled/dropped. Students also required to contact DSS at least 48 hours in advance to cancel or reschedule any meetings where an interpreter has been scheduled. Failure to provide this advance notice may result in suspension of services for the remainder of the semester.
Please remember that all interaction with In-House Service Provider should be done both with courtesy and consideration. Discourteous behavior could justify terminating the services and will be reported to the Student Life Office for any possible discipline/behavior disruption violations of the student conduct code.
