[civsa] Translators

[Lambert, Dee]

Hi Lisa,
UT Dallas does not hire translators for language barriers, but we will hire an sign language interpreter for a student who is hearing impaired.  These interpreters are independent contractors and not university related at this time.

Thanks,
Dee Lambert

Hello CIVSA members,

I am curious if you provide on-campus translators if visitors request?  If so, what is the criteria that must be met in order for you to arrange for a translator (ie. Parent does not speak English, but student does)?  Do you ever deny anyone a translator if they request it?


*         Who do you hire to be translator?

o   Do you hire an outside independent contractor or use students who are studying foreign languages to help with translation?

Thanks for sharing your practices!
