Can the Office of Disability Services change my professors attendance policy or deadlines because of my disability?
Attendance policies and deadlines for assignments or papers are at the sole discretion of faculty. If you do experience absences or miss deadlines due to a major disability related event, please contact the Office of Disability Services for further support. Additional documentation may be required. You must also follow up with your professor(s) as soon as possible to address any missed classes or assignments. Excessive absences and missed or late assignments can have a negative impact upon your overall grade, regardless of disability.
