- Students are responsible for discussing ALL accommodations listed on their Accommodation Letter directly with each course instructor.
- Students are required to send their written request directly to the instructor (do not send the request to DSS) to use this accommodation before the assignment is due and in a timely manner (DSS recommends making this request at least 48 hours prior to due date to allow instructor adequate time to consider the extension). The request must be in an electronic format via email to the instructor to verify a time stamp on the request (student may cc the DSS Coordinator in the email correspondence). This must be done for each assignment that the student is requesting an extension.
- The instructor will then consider if an assignment can be extended and what the alternative due date is for the student. Students should contact their DSS Coordinator directly if they have concerns with the instructor’s decision.
- Once an alternative deadline is agreed upon by the instructor and the student, the student will then submit their assignment in accordance with the alternative deadline.
