Interpreting and captioning services are costly services so it is important that students and Disability Services (DS) staff work cooperatively to use these services wisely.

Students are responsible to follow these policies regarding attendance:

NDSU Disability Services “No-Show” Policy

After the 2nd No Show/No Call – per class per semester interpreting/captioning services will be suspended for that class. The student is responsible to schedule a meeting with his/her Disability Services Case Manager. After the meeting, interpreting services will resume.

After the 3rd No-Show/No Call – per class per semester interpreting and captions services will be cancelled for that class. The student will be responsible to schedule a meeting with his/her Disability Services Case Manager to discuss the attendance issue. After this meeting, services may or may not be reinstated, depending upon the availability of the interpreter/captioner.

Interpreters/captioners will report student “no-shows/no calls” to the Disability Services Coordinator in accordance with the policy as stated above.

The student is responsible to notify the Disability Services office of his/her absence even if there is more than one D/HH student in the same class.

Guidelines for Notifying the Disability Services

It is the responsibility of the student to contact the Disability Services regarding an absence as soon as possible but no later than 15 minutes before the class.
