FAQs
I’m in ASL 1 or 2 right now, can I come to Silent Weekend?
This weekend-long event will be entirely in Sign Language, both receptively and expressively. All of the presentations are in ASL with no English interpretation. If you have not completed ASL 3 at the college level, Silent Weekend is not a good fit for you yet. Please consider joining us when you are more comfortable with the language.
Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?
You must be over 18 years old to attend.
I’ve graduated my ITP, but I’m not yet a certified interpreter. Which ticket do I purchase?
You should purchase an “Early Bird Full Weekend” ticket prior to January 27 if you plan to attend Friday-Sunday. “Student or Deaf/Hard of Hearing Full Weekend” tickets are reserved for current students with a college ID or a Deaf or Hard of Hearing person.
What can I bring into the event?
You should bring bedding including a sleeping bag or blankets, a pillow and your toiletries (towel, soap, shampoo, hairdryer) You should also bring a flashlight, and warm clothes if you plan to go outdoors during free time. Please do not bring valuables as we cannot be held responsible for anything lost or stolen. Please do bring your quarters to feed the piggy bank for each spoken word if you happen to slip up.
How can I contact the organizer with any questions?
Please email Jennifer Kolhoff, D&HHS Workshop Coordinator, at workshops@deafhhs.org
What’s the refund policy?
50% refund if cancelled by January 27, 2023. After January 28, 2023, no refund will be given. D&HHS reserves the right to cancel at any time with a full refund. *Eventbrite fees will NOT be refunded at any time. *
What if I can’t make it because the roads are bad?
Many months of planning and coordinating go into this type of event including renting the facility and securing professional presenters. Unfortunately, that means that we will not cancel (even in the case of extreme winter weather) We understand that travel in Michigan during February can sometimes be hazardous, and we hope that everyone uses their own discretion with safety in mind. We cannot refund to individuals due to an unforeseen weather event because of the expenses that have already been committed to reserving the facility, lodging, food, entertainment, and workshop presenters. We ask that you contact the workshop coordinator at workshops@deafhhs.org if you expect to be delayed due to weather.
Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?
No. You can check in when you arrive by giving your name to the person at the registration table.
Is my registration fee or ticket transferrable?
No, please email workshops@deafhhs.org if you have a specific question.
