Important Deadlines
Deadline to Request Semester Request, Notes, Alternative Text, Accessible Furniture and Exams
- Extended Time on Exams : Faculty will be responsible for ensuring that all students who receive extended time on exams are allowed their approved accommodations for any online, timed exam. It is very important for you to verify the extended time accommodation, located on the accommodations letter.
- Take-Home Exams: Accommodations for extended time on exams may also apply to take-home exams. Please consult with the Office of Student Accessibility if you have questions regarding the length of time that you permit for take-home exams.
- Text-to-Speech for Exams: When possible, the Office of Student Accessibility recommends that professors send exams to students as Word documents. Word documents are the most accessible/readable file types for students who utilize accessible text formats. OCR a .pdf to ensure accessibility. Saving a .doc as a .pdf may not ensure that document is accessible.
- CAS Exam Proctoring : The OSA Testing Center is currently proctoring in-person exams during the hours of 8:15 am to 4:30 pm. Deadline to request exam proctoring is by Noon, two business days before the exam.
Please see our website on short-term injury/illness.
We know that pregnancy can impact attendance and coursework completion. Pregnant students have the right to pregnancy-related absences and medically required treatments and appointments should be excused. Consideration for flexibility with assignment deadlines during pregnancy-related absences is an expectation.
Please contact the Title IX Coordinator Lori Makin-Byrd, lmakin-byrd@lclark.edu if you need assistance managing absences or coordinating with your faculty regarding late work submissions that may occur due to pregnancy or postpartum needs.
Student Accessibility is located in room 206 of Albany Quadrangle.
