Abstract
	When talking about educational interpreting, the conversation most often refers to interpreting in the K-12 setting. Due to the demands of interpreting for school-age deaf consumers, there is a lot of research dedicated to interpreting in K-12. Not as much research has been dedicated to interpreting in colleges and universities, yet many challenges faced by deaf students and interpreters remain in this setting. Some challenges include the availability of interpreters, the experience of interpreters, and the demands of various postsecondary settings (from community college to university to vocational schools to pre-college). The findings of this research support demarcating postsecondary as a unique subfield based on the advanced linguistic demands, diverse consumer populations, and the institutional structure of higher education that outline the interpreter’s role and process.
