Disability Accommodations: Students needing academic accommodations
for a disability must first register with Disability Accommodations &
Success Strategies (DASS). Students can call 214-768-1470 or visit
http://www.smu.edu/Provost/ALEC/DASS
to begin the process. Once
registered, students should then schedule an appointment with the
professor as early in the semester as possible, present a DASS
Accommodation Letter, and make appropriate arrangements. Please note
that accommodations are not retroactive and require advance notice to
implement.
Religious Observance: Religiously observant students wishing to
be absent on holidays that require missing class should notify their
professors in writing at the beginning of the semester, and should
discuss with them, in advance, acceptable ways of making up any work
missed because of the absence. (See University Policy No. 1.9.)
Excused Absences for University Extracurricular Activities:
Students participating in an officially sanctioned, scheduled
University extracurricular activity should be given the opportunity to
make up class assignments or other graded assignments missed as a
result of their participation. It is the responsibility of the
student to make arrangements with the instructor prior to any missed
scheduled examination or other missed assignment for making up the
work. (University Undergraduate Catalogue)
