We have always resisted the request from our disabled students to have blanket extensions for all course work and given them all the reasons why, I wont go on here and list them all but after having a complaint from one of our disabled students our Director of Student Services has asked me to ask if any Universities have a blanket extension for students and how you all manage it. The student in question (who is dyslexic) feels she should not have to ask her tutors for an extension and it should be her right as it is her right to have the extra time in exams.
Thoughts please, meeting with Head and student tomorrow.
