SOS can provide advocacy to faculty on behalf of students regarding flexibility around coursework and deadlines caused by extreme, short-term, extenuating circumstance that is supported by documentation or relevant campus partner (such as the Title IX Coordinator, or Campus Safety).

 

Examples include: a death in the family, a physical or mental health crisis or event, or being the victim of a crime.

 

For advocacy regarding the death of a loved one please complete the Bereavement Support Form.

 

SOS advocacy is a formal request for grace that verifies the legitimacy of a student’s situation while maintaining their privacy.

 

The decision to provide flexibility around course work is made entirely at the discretion of individual faculty. While our office can provide retroactive advocacy, a request for advocacy must be submitted to SOS within a month of the event/concern occurring and before the end of the semester.

 

Once SOS provides advocacy on behalf of a student, it is their responsibility to follow up with their faculty to make arrangements to complete course work.

 

SOS does not provide legal accommodations to support long-term disability-related concerns. If you have questions about accommodations please contact the Office of Accessibility and Disability Services.

Faculty Outreach Request Form

The purpose of this form is to provide a secure and private platform for students to submit supporting documentation to request for advocacy from the Office of Student Outreach and Support (SOS)
