Guidelines<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Butler University is committed to providing reasonable accommodations including excellent and timely interpreter services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The individual requiring the interpreter is responsible for making the interpreter request; two weeks advance notice is needed so the necessary arrangements can be made.\u00a0Although attempts will be made to honor requests on short notice, requests which do not allow two weeks advance notice increase the possibility that interpreter services will be unavailable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Student Disability Services (SDS) is the department on campus that assists the Butler campus community in facilitating interpreter services. Departments are required to contact SDS for consultation whenever an interpreter request or question is raised so as to determine what is required, remain in compliance, and receive guidance about how to appropriately address the situation. Ordinarily, it is expected that the department hosting the event will cover costs for interpreter services other than academic coursework.\u00a0If a department wishes to be considered for University reimbursement for interpreter services, please complete a <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSe2gBmFMKQBpfggTki-XAOjetsk1-dUpebIxED2nWo5eGod2w\/viewform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Butler Event Accommodation Request Form<\/a>.\u00a0The final decision regarding reimbursement lies with the Butler University Vice President of Finance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interpreter services are provided for individuals who are participating in Butler sponsored events, as well as for Butler students who are enrolled in academic coursework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interpreters are often provided for off-campus events that are part of coursework requirements and for many, but not necessarily all, co-curricular activities. These situations require a discussion with SDS so that they can be individually considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ASL interpreter requests for Butler University-sponsored events being held in Clowes Memorial Hall, Schrott Center for the Arts, and Hinkle Fieldhouse should be placed directly with the venue. This is applicable to both Butler and non-Butler students.\u00a0If there are concerns or questions, please immediately contact SDS at 317-940-9308.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For all other university-sponsored events, requests for interpreter services are to be made by completing and submitting a <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSe2gBmFMKQBpfggTki-XAOjetsk1-dUpebIxED2nWo5eGod2w\/viewform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Butler Event Accommodation Request Form<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Student-athletes who wish to request interpreter services for athletic practices, games, and activities should make their interpreter request by submitting a <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSe2gBmFMKQBpfggTki-XAOjetsk1-dUpebIxED2nWo5eGod2w\/viewform\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Butler Event Accommodation Request Form<\/a>. SDS will forward the request directly to the appropriate athletics department, which will then take responsibility for handling and funding interpreter services.\u00a0SDS is available for consultation as noted above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Butler University does not provide interpreters for events or circumstances that are personal in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Butler students who wish to request interpreter services should:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>immediately register with Student Disability Services by submitting the necessary documentation and by participating in an initial intake interview in order to discuss current levels of functioning, accommodation needs, and policies and procedures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>utilize, every semester, the priority registration system offered to students registered with Student Disability Services. In addition, students should meet with SDS, every semester, as soon as they have completed their course schedule for the upcoming semester so that interpreter requests can be discussed and determined. Early discussion helps to ensure plenty of time for scheduling interpreters; at least two weeks advance notice is needed when making an interpreter request. Although attempts will be made to honor requests made on short notice, requests which do not allow two weeks advance notice increase the possibility that interpreter services will be unavailable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>inform SDS, upon receipt of the course syllabus or immediately upon determination of need, as to any additional course related requirements that will require interpreter services.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>make requests for interpreter services by utilizing the <a href=\"https:\/\/cdn.butler.edu\/www\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/08093131\/interpreter_request_form_for_students.doc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Interpreter Request Form<\/a> for Academic Coursework.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>inform SDS immediately about any course schedule changes. Adherence to this practice will help to ensure consistent and timely services.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>notify SDS immediately if a class has been cancelled by an instructor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>contact SDS immediately if an interpreter does not show up for an assignment or&nbsp;for any problems or concerns. This will help ensure that the matter is addressed quickly and properly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"acc-flex-container\">\n\t<div class=\"acc-title-container\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\">\n\t\t<button id='block_acf-block-6945a0ba8b70f-acc-row' class='acc-row' type='button' aria-expanded='false' aria-controls='block_acf-block-6945a0ba8b70f_acc-content-panel'>\n\t\t\t<div id='block_acf-block-6945a0ba8b70f-acc-title' class='acc-title'>\n\t\t\t\tAbsence From Class\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<img alt=\"\" id='block_acf-block-6945a0ba8b70f-acc-img' class='acc-icon' src='https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/diversity-equity-inclusion\/wp-content\/plugins\/butler-acf-blocks-new\/assets\/images\/nav_main_icon_open.png' \/>\n\t\t<\/button>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div role=\"region\" aria-hidden='true'\n\t\tid='block_acf-block-6945a0ba8b70f-acc-content-panel' class='acc-panel' aria-labelledby=\"block_acf-block-6945a0ba8b70f-acc-row\">\n\t\t<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<p>Students who expect to be absent from class should notify SDS at&nbsp;<a aria-label=\"To make this website accessible to screen reader, Press combination of alt and 1 keys.
