Class Attendance & Information

• All students follow the PAC Attendance Policy...You can be dropped from class if you absent for 2 weeks. Check in the PAC college catalog or ask your instructor for more information.

• If you are late arriving to class, call Disability Support Services (DSS) 486-3020 (v), or email lltrevino1@alamo.edu, or AOL IM DSSLydiaT to let someone know you will be late. If you do not call, the Interpreter will wait only 10-15 minutes for you to show up at your class. After that she/he will leave the class. If interpreters are in the office, you can try our VP #866-971-0132 or 210-853-5033.

• If the interpreter is late, call, email or IM the DSS office to tell them you do not have an interpreter.

• Set up folders and notebooks for each class…Be organized!

• Some teachers require you to write journals, or portfolios then turn them in at the end of the semester.

• Follow the class syllabus. Make sure you understand it. Make sure your interpreter gets a copy, too.

• Know the test dates, and know what your grades are.

• Sit where it is easy to see the Instructor, Interpreter, overheads, and board.

• Get the Instructor’s phone number, email, and office location so you can ask questions.

• DSS has Texas Relay (711) information you can give to your Instructors...Or we can teach instructors how to use a TTY or Video Phone. DSS has a VP, TTY, and an InterpreType. Ask for a demo.
