How the Extra Time Works for Students with Accommodations

Question:
How Does the Extra Time Works for Students with Accommodations?
Answer:
First, it is important to point out that this article is for students who have gone through the ADA application process and have extra time as an approved accommodation. If a student needs to set up accommodations submit an ADA referral for the student. 

The extra time accommodation allows a student a minimum of 1.5 time, which works out to be 4 additional days. The 1.5 extra time is a guideline rather than a hard deadline but students should try to their best to stay within the four additional days. If a student does need more time they are able to automatically receive it, and have until four days after the end of the course to submit outstanding work.  The extra time does not cover team assignments, participation, discussion questions, resubmission of assignments or attendance. 
 
For the final assignment, students are allowed the same 4 additional days, once class ends, to turn in their assignments. Students are eligible for an incomplete (IX). Students must request the IX from his/her ADA advisor within four days of the end of the course. 

As a quick recap…
 
1.             There are no hard deadlines during the course
2.             The student is exempt from the normal penalties for late assignments
3.             If the student cannot submit the assignments within 4 days after the end of the course, s/he must contact his/her DSA to request an IX.
4.             The accommodations do not cover team assignments, participation, resubmission of assignments or attendance.
