Enhancing Institutional EDI Knowledge of Disability and Academic Accessibility: 

• Many students miss assignment deadlines or miss tests/exams. For some students with disabilities, it could be due to a flare-up in their condition, which can be unpredictable in nature and often outside of their control. 

• It can be difficult for faculty to balance academic rigor and accountability for what students are to learn, with a fair and manageable process for those who miss required tests/exams and assignments. 

• Consider creating a contingency supplemental assignment or make-up test/exam that can be pulled out during the semester as needed.  

Visit our ALS Information for Faculty website to learn more about accommodating students with disabilities.
