Prerequisites

    RIT and NTID faculty and staff have expressed their desire for more advanced ASL courses in FSSLEP. In response to these requests, we offer one of these courses each quarter.. These courses are intended for people who have an SCPI/SLPI rating of Intermediate Plus or above. From our experience this winter and from your feedback, we hope to develop these courses so that they can be offered next year for a full quarter.
