Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services
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.
Request Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services
Students who need interpreting, real-time transcription or other communication supports should request services as early as possible. The Districtwide Coordinator for Deaf Services can help you review available options and understand how services are provided at STLCC.
