Red River College Polytechnic's ASL-English Interpretation program builds fluency in American Sign Language (ASL) alongside Deaf history and culture and interpreting theory, with practice interpreting both in class and in the field. The three-year, full-time program is delivered at the Notre Dame Campus in Winnipeg with a Fall intake. Students study cultural differences between Deaf and hearing communities, ethical decision-making, and the communication and cognitive skills required for interpreting across Deaf and hearing settings. Graduates are prepared for entry-level interpreting roles in K-12 schools, colleges, businesses, and social services, and to sit the Canadian Association of Sign Language Interpreters (CASLI) Generalist Knowledge Exam. Applicants with a criminal record or listed on the Child Abuse Registry or Adult Abuse Registry may not be able to complete the program. It leads to a diploma credential.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants must complete Grade 12 English (40S) with a minimum grade of 75%, with official transcripts due by July 15 for fall enrolment. English language requirements are met by three years of full-time secondary education in Canada, the United States, or an ELR-exempt country where English was the language of instruction, or by an approved English language assessment score. Applicants must also demonstrate basic American Sign Language proficiency equivalent to at least 120 hours of ASL instruction, completion of RRC's ASL 1, 2, and 3 courses, or a minimum ASLPI score of 2.0 dated within the past year, along with a completed Applicant Declaration for Check Documents Form. Mature applicants aged 19 or older who have been out of high school for at least one year may apply without Grade 12 completion provided they meet the English language and ASL proficiency requirements.
