Are accommodations retroactive?
No. Accommodations are not retroactive. Accommodations for students with disabilities do not take effect until you have self-identified to Disability Concerns, provided appropriate documentation, completed a “Request for Services” form, been approved eligible for accommodations and received your Disability Concerns ID Card. If you feel you are struggling with your classes due to your disability, it is in your best interest to self-identify to Disability Concerns early in the semester to provide yourself the best possible opportunity for success.
No. Accommodations are not retroactive. Accommodations do not take effect until the student has completed registration with ODS and has provided the instructor with an accommodation letter. Students must further give instructors at least three (3) school days notice before use of an accommodation. ODS cannot require the instructor or anyone else to make changes in grades for assignments/exams given prior to notifying the instructor of the accommodations.
