If your event is open to the entire Barnard community and or/the general public, submit a real-time captioning request through CARDS, at no additional cost to the department.  

If your event is not a public event and/or requires an RSVP, we recommend that you include the following question on your RSVP form (or otherwise make clear that attendees can request captioning for the event):  
“Would you like to request access to real-time captions as a disability-related accommodation for this event?”
If an attendee indicates on the RSVP form that they are requesting access to captions, please submit a real-time captioning request. 

Please note that CARDS  requires two weeks of lead time in order for captioning requests to be accommodated. While we will accept late requests, please be advised that they may not be able to be accommodated.

For important set-up instructions for setting up a captioner within the event and additional information about the new captioning process, please visit the CARDS event accessibility webpage.

Organizers should share the following disclaimer language for recorded virtual events with all participants before the event( e.g., email, webpage, or registration) and at the start and closing of the event (e.g., holding slides).

You may also elect to share disclaimer language through the following:

• Event webpage
• Event registration page
• Opening and closing slides
• Message read aloud at the beginning and closing of the event
• Message shared via the chat feature at the beginning and closing of the event
