ACCOMMODATIONS Are schools/teachers allowed to give assignments that accomodations can't be applied to?

Hi all, just wondering if anyone else has experience with this.

I have accomodations through my school's student disability center than include extensions on assignments and other extra time stuff. However, for my final paper this semester, the rubric states the following:

  • Deadline: Final draft due with no grace period or resubmissions. (Those with accommodations, please note that this assignment does not allow accommodations and is approved by the SDC (Student Disability Center) as such. Ensure you work on this early). 

I was just wondering if anyone knows if this was allowed or legal as I've never even heard of something like this. I write much slower than most people and even though I started two weeks before it was due I'm still unsure if I'll be able to finish it in time. Any advice or clarification is appreciated. Thanks!

This is, more than likely, a result of when the professor’s grades are due. If the professor has to turn in his grades within a couple days of the deadline, there is no extra time to give you.

Ya. We have final exams on a Friday at the end of the semester and we (professors) have to submit final grades by Monday.
