Resources for persons with limited English proficiency
Individuals who do not speak English as their primary language and who have a limited ability to read, speak, write, or understand English can be limited English proficient, or "LEP." These individuals may be entitled under Title VI to language assistance with respect to a particular type of service, benefit, or encounter.
If an individual would like assistance with translators or interpreters, they must notify the staff or contact the program administrator listed on the event or class flyer or by notifying UAF Office of Rights, Compliance and Accountability for assistance via phone (907) 474-7300, by walk-in or at uaf-orca@alaska.edu.
