NCOD: Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services

Since 1964, NCOD: Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services has served students who are deaf or hard of hearing at the University level. NCOD, internationally recognized for its mainstreamed programs and services, provides an innovative orientation program, communication access services (interpreting and transcription), academic advisement, and tutoring to students who are deaf or hard of hearing, as well as CSUN faculty and staff.

Each semester, approximately 150 students who are deaf or hard of hearing have access to University classes, co-curricular activities and student-sponsored functions, including the Deaf CSUNians club and various student leadership programs. Student assistantship opportunities are available. To receive services and accommodations through NCOD, students must register with the office.

NCOD was the first postsecondary program in the nation to provide paid sign language interpreters for deaf students. The program has grown to be the largest mainstreaming program in the western United States.
