The Flexible Attendance and Deadlines accommodation entitles students to an opportunity to make-up group work, presentations, and other graded work due to a disability-related fare.
When completing a Flex Plan instructors will indicate the make-up opportunity provided.
Make-up opportunities for group work
Note: Courses with group work components require interactive communication between student and instructor. If absences impact group performance, student should talk to instructor immediately.
Make-up options include:
- Student should promptly contact me to discuss how points from missed group work can be earned.
- There is limited flexibility available for group work in this course. The rationale and alternatives are indicated in the Additional Comment box.
- Group work is not part of the grade in this course.
Examples of Additional Comments:
- Requirements for Blackboard group discussions need to be completed within the timeframe allotted to the class, as learning can only take place during the times when the conversation is active.
- Group projects can be modified to an individual project, if needed.
- Student is responsible for coordinating with group members to schedule time to make-up group work missed due to a flare-up.
Make-up opportunities for presentations
Make-up options include:
- Points from a missed presentation can be earned by arranging a make-up. Contact me for more details.
- There is limited flexibility available for presentations in this course. The rationale and alternatives are indicated in the Additional Comment box.
- Presentations are not part of the grade in this course.
Examples of Additional Comments:
- Class presentations occur over multiple days. If flare-up occurs on student’s presentation day, student will present during the following class period.
- Student can schedule a make-up presentation 1-on-1 with instructor during office hours.
Make-up opportunities for experiential activities
Courses coded as APS, LAB, SEM, etc. may involve experiential activities that are essential to learning. Examples of make-up opportunities include:
- Within the four-week period leading up to a performance, student can miss up to two classes.
- Student can miss one additional studio practice during the semester. Any additional absences will result in student not participating.
- There are multiple labs throughout the week, so student can attend a different lab section during the same week that covers the same material.
- Missed labs need to be made up within two weeks. Student will contact instructor to schedule make-up.
- This course has two designated class periods in which student can make-up work. If necessary, student can request one additional lab time for make-up work.
