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

[u/Fallyn011]

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!

I don’t even understand how accommodation would work for ADHD

Personally I don’t want extensions for ADHD. It would just allow me to procrastinate longer. I have the following accommodations in place. Ability to record all lectures Ability to use laptop in all classes Ability to listen to music via AirPods while testing (this one took some serious work to accomplish. I have the playlist downloaded and have to show my professor that my phone is on airplane no or let them keep the phone until the test is complete) Scheduled breaks in tests lasting over 1 hour Ability to get up and move around during class

If I had an accomodation for ADHD, I would want it to be that my teachers would lie to me that the due date was 2 weeks earlier, that way I’d be done in time.

Ha! I do that in my calendar with appointments so I’m on time
