Do students get assigned to one interpreter/captioner or notetaker for their whole schedule of classes?
No. The UWM D/HH Program has a large staff and a variety of staff interpreters/captioners are assigned to each student’s schedule each semester. The Deaf/Hard of Hearing students ask instructors to assist them in recruiting a note taker from among the other students in the D/HH student’s class. The D/HH Program provides free carbonless paper for note takers and also pays each notetaker a stipend (a small amount of money) for each class.
