Deaf Services Student Agreement 
and No-Show Policy

Contact Frances Southerland-Amsden by email at chc_sas@craftonhills.edu  if you need to arrange for an interpreter for your classes.

After interpreting services have been arranged for you, you must utilize these services efficiently.  Please contact Frances Southerland-Amsden by email at chc_sas@craftonhills.edu if:

  • You plan to be absent from class (24 hours' advance notice is required), so your interpreter can be canceled for that day. 
  • You become sick suddenly and will miss class, so your interpreter can be canceled for that day. 
  • Your class will be canceled for the day so that your interpreter can be canceled for that day. 
  • You plan to drop the class so that your interpreter can be removed from the schedule for that class for the rest of the semester. 
  • If you are not in class when it starts, the interpreter will wait 15 minutes for every hour of the class.
  • If you miss two (2) class meetings without informing Vannesa Ramirez, then your interpreting services will be temporarily suspended.  You will have to meet with the Associate Dean or the Director before interpreting services are resumed.  
  • All requests for interpreting outside the classroom must be made by sending an email to Frances Southerland-Amsden.  She will arrange an interpreter to accommodate your needs. You must provide advance notice (at least 24 hours) so your interpreting services can be arranged.

Mobility Services Tram Policy


SAS will provide tram service to eligible mobility-impaired students.  In order to be eligible, students must have a verified disabling condition that limits their mobility. The tram service is limited to transporting eligible students to and from their classes and Therapy appointments on campus. This service must be pre-approved by a SAS LD Specialist or a SAS Counselor and documented in the student’s SAS file. Only eligible SAS students who are pre-approved are allowed to ride on the tram.  

Eligible students must complete, sign, and submit a Mobility Services Request Form to the SAS Office prior to receiving this service. The pick-up and drop-off times requested by students are not guaranteed and may be adjusted by SAS staff depending on the demand for tram service.

Pre-scheduling of tram service is required.

Tram service will operate from 8 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. Monday through Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Closed Fridays in Summer
