Accessible Ed & Disability Resources has agreement forms that have been used for students with approved eligibility for some flexibility to be extended in the context of unexpected flare-ups for chronic health conditions – and these agreements can be used as needed, but we also hope, that to the degree possible, flexibility is being afforded to all students. Our quick reference guide includes a section on requests for flexibility.
