Required Qualifications
As a state entity, the University of Connecticut adheres to Connecticut State Statute 46a-33a when working with interpreters. These statutes provide a minimum threshold of qualification to work in the State of Connecticut. In order to meet the needs of our community, UCIS often works with interpreters who exceed these criteria.
CART providers, captionists, and transcriptionists are held to expectations dependent on the accommodation provided and the technical standards of their respective fields.
