Student Roles & Responsibilities > Working with Interpreters
Working with Interpreters
While working with interpreters, it is the responsibility of the student to:
- Provide SSWD with at least 24-hour notice prior to the beginning of any class you will miss. This will allow reassignment of the interpreter.
- Make requests for additional interpreting services, other than the regularly scheduled class time, through the SSWD office. Please give as much advance notice as possible.
- Any concerns or problems with an interpreter should be brought to the attention of the Coordinator of Services for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Students.
It is the responsibility of the interpreter to:
- Follow the code of Ethics for Interpreters established by the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf.
- Give SSWD advance notice of any absence so that another interpreter may be assigned to cover the class. Whenever possible please give 24-hour notice.
