Registered ODS students must request accommodations each term. Students are encouraged to request accommodations within 48 hours after registering for classes.Accommodations requested for the current term afterFriday of week 8 will be approved on a case-by-case basis. Please note that accommodations are not retroactive. In order to ensure sufficient time to provide accommodations, the student must submit their accommodation requests on-line within the appropriate time frame each term (see Chapter 1, Students' Rights and Responsibilities). Please see the following timeline for the minimum time requirements for specific accommodations.
If a request is submitted after the relevant deadline, reasonable efforts will be made by ODS and faculty to accommodate the request. However, we cannot guarantee that such a request can be met. Untimely requests may result in delay, substitutions, or denial of accommodation.
Be sure to read ODS emails, reminders, and agreements in order to use accommodations.
