If I plan to be a part-time student in the Interpreter for the Deaf program, is it really necessary to follow the suggested program sequence as it appears in the catalog?
Yes. Students are discouraged from designing their own program of study and should be advised to make an appointment with the program coordinator to discuss their immediate and long term schedules. When courses are not taken in sequence, students may find themselves in a position where they cannot enter an advanced interpreting course because they lack the prerequisite and must therefore wait an entire year to be eligible again. In their first semester as matriculated 341-1 students (whether FT or PT), they should be certain to register for at least SL26 Introduction to Interpreting and the corerequisite SL20 ASL III.
