American Sign Language
The Classes
American Sign Language is the third most widely used language in the United States. By taking ASL at SCC, you will
not only learn a beautiful language, but you will be introduced to the Deaf community and culture. We offer a full
year of ASL, which is fully transferable and will satisfy your foreign language requirement at all Washington
public colleges.
The Club
The ASL club at SCC is called "Shut-up and Sign." The club participates in many activities on campus and within
the Spokane Deaf community. Our mission is to promote awareness of ASL and the culture of the Deaf community. You
do not have to be in an ASL class to participate, just willing to have fun and learn!
