Section A: Excused Absences/Make-up Participation Points

Using the Attendance and Flexibility Consideration Rubric, I have determined that:a student with a disability may miss class for disability-related reasons beyond the number of allowed absences on the syllabus. Additional information is required.
The maximum number of excused absences without penalty permitted:
Additional details or exceptions to allotment: I am happy to work around the student's needs regarding attendance. In the extreme, if no attendance were possible, I'd try to meet with the student virtually over office hours to discuss questions they submit about classes. Again, I'm happy to be flexible here.
Plan for make-up participation points, if applicable (e.g. .submit additional blog posts on Canvas):More than likely, in the extreme case of zero participation, I'd require questions to be submitted about lectures and for these to form the basis of some discussion.
