Sign Language Interpretation
The OAS provides sign language interpretation to students who qualify and are registered with the OAS. This service includes interpretation for students in classes, study groups, advising, lectures, theater performances, and other Florida State sponsored activities. The interpreter will accommodate the needs of deaf/hard of hearing individuals with respect to their preferred mode of communication.
Sign language interpretation for other university department events can be arranged on an “as available” basis. Requesting sign language interpretation from the OAS does not guarantee that the staff interpreter will be able to interpret. In such situations the interpreter will assist departments in finding and hiring a contractor for the event.
Interpreter requests for Florida State events cannot be guaranteed and will be considered on a case-by-case basis contingent on the availability of the interpreter. Interpreter requests for events require at least four (4) weeks advance notice in order for our office to determine the appropriate accommodations.
*Note: In the event that interpreters are not available, other appropriate services will be considered (e.g.CART, UbiDuo, FM System, or other supportive technology).
