Academic Accommodations - Deaf Services
Assistive Technology
After registering with ACCESS and being approved for a Frequency Modulation (FM) or a Digital Modulation (DM) system, we will work with you to find an appropriate system compatible with your device.
Captioning
After registering with ACCESS and being approved for captioning, the student will receive services such as Computer Assisted Real-Time Translation (CART) and Typewell. Typewell is a meaning- for-meaning real-time transcript, while CART is a verbatim real-time transcript, both of which are displayed on a screen. All requests should be made as soon as possible to secure services. Keep in mind, not all campus events will plan for captioning, students should submit a Caption Request Form to ensure accessibility. When submitting your request, please be prepared to share as much pertinent information as possible to expedite the scheduling of the service.
Note-taking
After registering with ACCESS and being approved for a notetaker, this service will be retrofitted to the individual, depending on the student’s need.
Priority Registration
After registering with ACCESS and being approved for a priority registration, students may register early and submit their semester requests (interpreter, notetaker, captions, assistive listening device, etc.) to streamline services.
