Disability Services has emailed me a recommendation for an assignment extension, what are my obligations?
Requests for assignment extensions are referred by Disability Services after receiving a formal request from the student that outlines how their condition has been exacerbated, and in line with supporting documentation retained on file. Standard extensions are for one week only. It is generally expected that the recommendation by Disability Services will be approved by the academic staff member, where by you are required to email the student confirmation of the updated due date. The request from Disability Services can be taken as a formal notification and an additional application for Special Consideration is not required. In some instances requests for extensions may be more than one week. This will be determined by a Disability Services Officer in consultation with academic staff. If, however, you have concerns with a request please contact Disability Services in the first instance prior to contacting the student.
