Deaf Services at STLCC
Deaf Services provides interpreting, notetaking, and/or real-time captioning services to students, faculty, and staff. Our goal is to remove communication or educational barriers for deaf and hard of hearing individuals.
At St. Louis Community College, we offer a variety of services to students who qualify. You can meet with the District-Wide Deaf Services Coordinator to discuss the various services and to discuss the expectations while using these services. For general questions regarding Deaf Services please send us an email.
