If therequired work to complete the course and to remove the incomplete grade is not submitted by thespecified deadline, the incomplete grade is changed automatically to a grade of F .

Disability Services

The goal of Disability Services is to provide students with disabilities educational opportunities

equal to those of their non-disabled peers. Disability Services is located in room 1.610 in theStudent Union. Office hours are Monday and Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.; Tuesday andWednesday, 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.; and Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

The contact information for the Office of Disability Services is:The University of Texas at Dallas, SU 22PO Box 830688Richardson, Texas 75083-0688(972) 883-2098 (voice or TTY)[email protected]

If you anticipate issues related to the format or requirements of this course, please meet with theCoordinator of Disability Services. The Coordinator is available to discuss ways to ensure yourfull participation in the course. If you determine that formal, disability-related accommodationsare necessary, it is very important that you be registered with Disability Services to notify them of your eligibility for reasonable accommodations. Disability Services can then plan how best tocoordinate your accommodations.

It is the students responsibility to notify his or her professors of the need for such anaccommodation. Disability Services provides students with letters to present to faculty membersto verify that the student has a disability and needs accommodations. Individuals requiring specialaccommodation should contact the professor after class or during office hours.

The student, so excused, will be allowed totake the exam or complete the assignment within a reasonable time after the absence: a periodequal to the length of the absence, up to a maximum of one week. A student who notifies theinstructor and completes any missed exam or assignment may not be penalized for the absence. Astudent who fails to complete the exam or assignment within the prescribed period may receive afailing grade for that exam or assignment.

If a student or an instructor disagrees about the nature of the absence [i.e., for the purpose of observing a religious holy day] or if there is similar disagreement about whether the student hasbeen given a reasonable time to complete any missed assignments or examinations, either thestudent or the instructor may request a ruling from the chief executive officer of the institution, orhis or her designee. The chief executive officer or designee must take into account the legislativeintent of TEC 51.911(b), and the student and instructor will abide by the decision of the chief
