• Instructional materials i.e. test, quizzes, homework will not be translated.

• As rush/short notice jobs do occur, please specify on the request form if the translation needs expediting. Expediting is at the discretion of the T&I Unit.
• Translation Request should be for “Essential Information” only. Fulfilling request for non-essential information will be at the cost of the requester.
