Reasonable Attendance Adjustments
When students are expected to follow established classroom attendance policies or requirements those who have a disability of an unpredictable or cyclic nature may be eligible for Flexible Attendance. In these cases, the extent to which a student can miss class is determined case-by-case, based on the student’s needs, course content, course format, and essential requirements of the course/academic program.
If you teach an online or remote course that includes live-stream lectures, group breakout sessions, or other real-time activities, consider recording the live-stream lectures for later viewing. If, on occasion, the student is not able to participate in other real-time activities due to increased symptoms of their disability, consider whether an alternative assignment may be reasonable.
When students need to use their Flexible Attendance accommodation, typically they are allowed a 24-48 hour window to make up any assignments, exams, or quizzes that were missed on the day of their absence.
