Accommodations for Absences, Assignment Deadlines, Exams

Changes to class attendance requirements, assignment deadlines, or exam dates are fundamental alterations to a course. Approval for such flexibility is a process that will require questions, discussion, and an OA team consultation and staffing to determine the reasonableness of such a request. Note that the OA Team will advocate for and with you in regards to your disability related needs and work with you and your instructor to assess and determine reasonable accommodations that allow you to participate in your classes. As stated in the Winthrop Student Handbook, Interaction between faculty and students is an integral part of the learning process at Winthrop.
