Services for Deaf Students

Interpreting Services 

Fanshawe College contracts ASL interpreters who have graduated from an accredited interpreting training program.

Interprets can be requested for all college-related functions such as lectures, meetings, appointments, presentations, field trips, and events.

Requests for an ASL interpreter can be made by emailing interpreterfacilitators@fanshawec.ca. Requests should be made at least two weeks before the service is needed. The ASL interpreter may require necessary information such as the agenda, handouts, slides or other meeting-related materials. Submit these items with your request.
