Students with disabilities are expected to attend classes on a regular basis and to comply with class attendance policies. However, there may be times when a student with a disability will be absent for disability-related reasons. For such absences, it may be considered a reasonable accommodation for faculty to modify their class attendance policy for that individual student. In such cases, as in any and all cases where students with disabilities wish to request accommodations, modifications to policies, and/or aids and services, it is the responsibility of the student to self-identify to the Disability Resource Center (DRC) and seek eligibility for a reasonable modification to class attendance policies. As with any and all requests for accommodations, aids, and/or services, requests for modifications to attendance policies cannot be granted retroactively and as such, students are encouraged to make such requests as early in the semester as possible.
