These conditions do not include routine health issues, which should be manageable without any leniency because of the built-in flexibility of Walden&#39;s online courses, or conditions that meet eligibility requirements for registration with the <a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/disability-services">Office of Student Disability Services</a> (OSDS). <em>If you require accommodation, or if your leniency request is related to an approved accommodation, please contact OSDS via email at <a href="https://dvi.sharepoint.com/sites/waldenredflag/Shared%20Documents/MED%20DOCS/disability@mail.waldenu.edu">disability@mail.waldenu.edu</a>. If are accommodated with OSDS and you need to request additional or alternate accommodations, you must return to OSDS and ask for an adjustment to your accommodation.</em></p> <h3>Leniency Request Process</h3> <p>If a student feels that they have experienced a temporary impairment that has affected their ability to meet an assignment deadline or that has had major impact on their performance in a course, they may request that their instructor(s) consider offering them extra time. The instructor determines if any delay in submission is acceptable, whether or not explained by a medical issue. Each situation under this policy will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.&nbsp;</p> <p>Claims of medical issues impacting a student&rsquo;s ability to meet deadlines may require documentation. Students should not send medical documentation directly to faculty.&nbsp;Faculty will not solicit medical documentation directly from students but will ask that such documents be submitted to the Medical Documentation Office for verification. &nbsp;In these cases, students should follow the instructions on the <a href="https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/ld.php?content_id=70379337">Leniency Request Form</a>&nbsp;to submit their medical documentation.&nbsp;The Medical Documentation Office will verify the medical documents and confirm receipt to faculty. Faculty make the final decision regarding the leniency request and communicate the outcome to the student.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div></div></div><div id="s-lg-col-3"
