Reasonable Extension Adjustments
The Deadline extensions allow the student a two or three (2-3) day extension on assignments, papers, and projects when the student's disability interferes with their ability to complete the work on time. If a deadline extension creates a fundamental alteration to the course or inhibits the learning process for other students, or if more than 2-3 days is requested, consult with an Access Counselor & Consultant at the DRC before proceeding.
Communication Regarding Deadline Extensions
The following information is intended to generate some ideas for the instructor and the student to use in discussing the possibilities and the limitations of Deadline Extensions in a particular course.
After receiving the Faculty Notification Letter from the DRC and before the student needs to use the accommodation, students and instructors are equally responsible for communicating with each other regarding Deadline Extensions. This can be done in a number of ways, including via Zoom or Google Hangouts, by phone, email, or in person (if circumstances allow).
