It’s About Time, Part II:
A Panel Discussion About Requests for Extra Time for Assignments and Additional Absences
Date: Friday, March 7
Time: 9 to 10:30 a.m.
Location: Siek Campus Center, Room 150
This webinar offers an opportunity to hear from disability professionals from a variety of school types and office sizes describing how they evaluate and implement accommodations that require interaction with faculty. When offices have to say no to students who request this accommodation, how do they do it? What other accommodations or supports may be offered to those students? When the accommodation is approved, how is the communication structured? How do understaffed offices find the time for required negotiation with faculty? Are there templates or tricks to help facilitate and expedite the work? Join this conversation to hear how other offices are handling this complicated issue.
