Resources for Current Students
Introduction
We congratulate you on continuing your education at Valencia!
College is different from high school!
In high school, your teachers
and the school staff were required by law to make sure you had interpreters
and other services. In college, you have
to "disclose" that you are Deaf or hard of hearing and you have to request services. That means
that when you register for classes, make an appointment for a meeting,
or plan to attend a special event, it is your responsibility to request an interpreter or speech to text provider.
Valencia faculty and staff will not make these requests for you.
This policy and our other policies are explained in the Student
Handbook. It is your responsibility to read the Student
Handbook and to be aware of our policies.
