Step 1: Apply to 91²Ö¿â

Use the Apply Now button to create your account and start your 91²Ö¿â application. On the 91²Ö¿â application, you will choose:

• Program: American Sign Language English Interpretation: (Exploring B.A.)
  • If you already have a bachelor’s degree, you will choose American Sign Language English Interpretation: (Seeking Second B.A.)
• Campus / Site: Distance-Online
• Start term: Fall Term (Aug.), unless you meet the conditions noted under Application Deadlines above.

After your admission to 91²Ö¿â is approved, you will then proceed with the ASLEI application.

Step 2: ASLEI Application

Admission to 91²Ö¿â does not guarantee admission to the ASLEI program. Once you are a 91²Ö¿â student, complete and submit the ASLIS department’s ASL-English Interpretation BA Application.

Step 3: ASL Demonstration of Competencies Screening

The online ASL competency screening will assess your knowledge of ASL linguistics and culture, ASL expression and ASL comprehension.

• The program will assign you to the next Demonstration of Competency screening and email you information on how to register. If you are unable to complete the assigned screening, you can move to a later screening if space is available.
• The screening costs $175 and is offered multiple times per year.

Screening waiver: the screening will be waived if you hold one of the following interpreting credentials:

• RID
• ED:K-12
• BEI Basic
• 4.0+ on the EIPA performance and passed the EIPA written

Letter of Placement

After you complete your screening or waiver, we will send you a Letter of Placement email. This can take up to six weeks.

• If you are placed into ASL V or higher, you will be accepted into the program. You will then schedule an advising session to discuss next steps.
• If you are placed below ASL V, you will need to increase your ASL skills and reapply. We offer online ASL courses to help you increase your proficiency.
