The Sign Language Interpreting Lab is a study area. Please remember that courtesy to fellow students is required. For this reason, the following rules apply.
1) Cell phones, pagers, and other sound-emitting devices must be turned OFF while in the Sign Language Interpreting Lab.
2) Voices should not be used. You should use ASL for communication. If you must communicate with voice, please whisper.
3) Children are not allowed in the lab or in the hallway outside of the lab.
The Sign Language Interpreting Lab has been given to us for our use. We must treat it with respect and care. The equipment is expensive and sensitive and for this reason, the following rules apply.
1) You may not bring open food or drink into the Lab. You may have water ONLY in a bottle with a screw-on lid. This can be left in the middle area of the Lab but may not be taken to the computer stations.
2) You should leave your book bags, etc. in the center of the lab to maintain a clear and safe work environment in the computer area.
3) DO NOT try to do your recording/viewing on your own until you have been trained in how to use the equipment. Wait for the assistance of Lab staff.
4) DO NOT touch the control panel below the desk, cameras, remotes, etc. without assistance.
5) Materials available in the lab for student use and assignments are copyrighted materials for which we have purchased a site license. It is illegal to make copies of these materials for use outside the lab. Copying these materials is prohibited. Any student who wants a personal copy of these materials must purchase them from the publisher. Any student who is found to have made an illegal copy of the materials will face disciplinary action, as this demonstrates a lack of ethical behavior which the program will not tolerate.
Violations of the above procedures will bring the following consequences.
First Offense – You will be asked to correct the situation immediately. Second Offense – You will be asked to leave the Lab. Third Offense – You will be asked to leave the Lab until a meeting with Department Chair and Lab Supervisor has been arranged. This step could result in failure of your classes.
The Sign Language Interpreting Lab is an asset to the Sign Language Interpreting Program, as well as a wonderful tool for helping you grow in your skills. Let us all work together to make it a great learning environment.
