Closed captions are a textual representation of the meaningful audio in a media file. DSS provides captioning services for students who require captioned media by working with faculty.
How Students Request Captioned Media
- Email your course schedule each semester in advance to DSS.
Process
- At least one month before the semester starts, the primary contact will email faculty, notifying that students with captioned media accommodations are enrolled in their courses.
- Upon receiving faculty’s response, DSS will add captions to media instructional materials and deliver them to faculty. I’m not sure we have this capability.
Student Responsibilities
Promptly inform the primary contact of captioned media about the following:
- Your finalized course schedule as soon as it is available.
- Any changes to your course schedule, including drop, add, and withdrawal adjustments during the semester.
- If you don’t need the service anymore.
- If you have concerns about captioned media you received.
