1. All deaf and/or hard of hearing students who wish to have interpreter or amplification support and accommodations should contact Bill Parker, Coordinator of Disability Services, in room A215, 910-362-7012.
2. All students in the above category are encouraged to also apply for services through The N.C. Division of Vocational Rehabilitation Services, so that DVRS and Cape Fear Community College resources can be combined in services to these students.
3. All students referenced above are to furnish CFCC with documentation of their disability, the functional limitations that will impact their participation in their CFCC curriculum and what accommodations they may need.
4. Interpreters will be paid according to DVRS/RID guidelines depending on certification and experience to include time and one half rates for evening and weekend services unless prior approval allows for a different arrangement.
5. Interpreters will be compensated for student class no shows if not given 24 hours prior notice of absence.
6. Interpreters will be expected to be on time, and to coordinate coverage of absences with their assigned students and The Coordinator of Disability Services at CFCC. Three (3) incidents of non-compliance with these guidelines may result in termination of interpreter contracts.
7. Interpreters will be expected to work in compliance with the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf code of ethics in the provision of interpreting services.
8. Interpreters will be expected to contact their student(s) assigned to them prior to the start of each term, and to help prepare their teacher(s) re: best practices for teaching their student(s). The Coordinator of Disability Services will assist in this responsibility via printed materials and direct contact as needed.
9. Interpreters will turn in time sheets for the previous month on the 15th of each month of contract coverage, and will be paid by check on the last working day of that month.
10. Students will agree to communicate with their assigned interpreter(s) re: any changes in their class and/or tutoring schedules as contracted. Failure to comply with contract(s) or failure to notify their interpreter and The Coordinator of Disability Services in advance of absences will result in suspension of interpreter support services after the third incident until mandatory counseling with The Coordinator of Disability Services insures compliance.
11. Students are strongly encouraged to utilize the tutoring support services provided by the Learning Lab in the library along with their interpreter(s) according to student need and interpreter availability.
12. When interpreter coverage is logistically impossible or temporarily unavailable, Disability Services will arrange for teacher accommodations and student support via videotaping of class or other reasonable/effective accommodations as suggested by the student and/or teacher.
