To obtain disability-related academic adjustments and/or auxiliary aids, students with disabilities must contact the course instructor and the Disability Resources and Educational Services (DRES) as soon as possible, and in particular at least one week before accomodations are actually required.
DRES requires documentation of a formal diagnosis from a health professional to recommend accomodations. Do not share this documentation with the course staff. If you are are experiencing significant academic distress due to an undiagnosed disability-related condition, we storngly recommend reaching out to DRES, McKinley Health Center, and/or the Counseling Center as soon as possible.
Illinois law requires the University to reasonably accommodate its students’ religious beliefs, observances, and practices in regard to admissions, class attendance, and the scheduling of examinations and work requirements. You should examine this syllabus at the beginning of the semester for potential conflicts between course deadlines and any of your religious observances. If a conflict exists, please notify the instructors of the conflict at least one full week before accommodations are required, and follow the procedure described by https://odos.illinois.edu/community-of-care/resources/students/religious-observances/ to request appropriate accommodations.
