Deadline Extensions

The Flexible Attendance and Deadlines accommodation entitles students to a deadline extension due to a disability-related flare when the following criteria are met:

  • The assignment (including all instructions and required content) was available 7 or fewer calendar days before the due date, and
  • The student requested the extension (preferably in advance but no later than 24 hours after the due date).

When completing a Flex Plan in the ODS Online Portal, instructors will indicate how students can make-up a missed assignment or request a deadline extension when needed. The following options are available:

  • Student will request deadline extension, then submit the assignment within 48 hours of the original due date.
  • Deadline extensions beyond 48 hours are allowed per the syllabus. Student should review and follow the syllabus.
  • There is limited flexibility available for this course. The rationale and available extension is indicated in the Additional Comment box.
  • This course does not calculate assignments as part of the grade.
