关于截止日期和出勤灵活性的指导

教授指导

有时, 当学生向你提交验证表格时, you may find the following statement and/or one similar to it:

This student has a documented condition that may interfere with their ability to attend class on occasion and/or complete work. The student is aware that too many absences/missed assignments can negatively affect their performance and grade for the course, and may compromise their ability to continue in the class. 然而, 如果必要的话, please consider whether some flexibility of the attendance policy/due dates may be possible without compromising essential course requirements. It is the student’s responsibility to contact you about an absence and to complete any missed work or tests as soon as possible.

访问服务的立场声明

访问服务 does not have a role in determining individual course attendance policies. 这是教授/系的职权范围.  

Consistent with the Academic Regulations found in Bryn Mawr’s catalog, 访问服务 expects students to attend all classes and complete assignments on time. 然而, it recognizes that some students—especially those with chronic medical conditions that may flare unexpectedly and unpredictably—may be unable to do so on occasion due to the functional limitations related to their disability. Therefore, such students may exceed, at times, the number of “allowable” absences. These students will have a statement such as the one above on their verification forms; professors are notified that the student is eligible for flexibility of attendance and/or assignment due dates, 由于慢性疾病. Students are expected to present their verification forms to professors and, 除此之外, to determine with the professor a plan as to how disability-related absences will be handled. Students must still fulfill the essential requirements of a course. 另外, students are strongly encouraged to keep their 院长 informed about absences and to consult with them.

迟交的作业, 由于残疾的限制, 一般不应受到分数处罚, when that assignment is submitted within a reasonable agreed-upon time-frame between the student, 迪安, 和教授.

这种迁就意味着什么?

• If you have a student with this statement on a verification form, it means the student has presented documentation to 访问服务 that supports their need for this accommodation. The student is not obligated to disclose the nature of their difficulty to you.
• This accommodation is not blanket permission for the student to miss classes and/or assume that all assignments can be submitted late.  Students are strongly encouraged to reach out to professors and 迪安s each time an absence or extension is necessary. 这是逐案请求/决定.
• This accommodation only applies to disability-related absences. Absences due to athletic activities, personal obligations, religious holidays, etc.，不符合此住宿条件.
• While professors are encouraged to think about universal design when implementing this accommodation, they are not expected to compromise either the rigor of their class or to fundamentally alter the nature of the course.
• 为了使这种适应有效, it is imperative that the student and the instructor have a shared understanding of the fundamental requirements of the class. Below are some guidelines for Professors to consider in clarifying the essential learning components of their class.

Guidelines for Determining if Class Attendance is Fundamental to Course Participation

4. To what degree does a student’s failure to attend a class constitute a significant loss to the educational experience of other students in the class?
5. 教学大纲对出勤率有什么规定?
6. What is the method by which the final course grade is calculated?
7. What are classroom practices and policies regarding attendance?
8. 有部门考勤制度吗? 如果是，您的类的策略是否与之对应?

Guidelines for Determining if a Deadline is Fundamental to the Class

1. Is the deadline integral to the progression of the work in the class?
2. Does the fundamental nature of the course rely upon the deadline being met?
3. Is the educational experience of the other students in the class impacted by the deadline not being met?
4. What do the course description and syllabus say about meeting deadlines?
5. How have you handled other students in the course not meeting deadlines?

教师 members are encouraged to consider the answers to the above questions, 当他们与有这种住宿的学生一起工作时. They are encouraged to make the following clear to students:

1. When and how would you like the student to inform you of absences?
2. 你对课程出勤率的期望是多少?
3. How will missed work (including assignments and/or exams) be made up? 
4. How will you let the student know about the alternate deadline for submitting the assignment(s)?

在任何时候, 访问服务可与教师咨询, 院长, and/or students and to answer any questions about the implementation of this accommodation.
