If you request an interpreter for your meetings, they are supposed to provide one.  Your request for an interpreter at administrative meetings is separate from your request for a classroom interpreter.


Some examples:


The college graduation ceremony.  Suppose there are no deaf graduates but the parents of one of the graduates is deaf.  If they request in advance the need for an interpreter, they should get one for the ceremony.


The college holds a seminar open to the public to explain new financial aid options for potential students.  A potential student makes a timely request for an interpreter for the seminar.  The college should honor that request.


A business uses college facilities for annual employee training.  One of the trainees is deaf.  The college provides an interpreter.


The college dental school provides services to the public.  One of the patients is deaf but not a student at the college.  If the patient makes an advance request for an interpreter, the college provides one.
