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:4
Additional details or exceptions to allotment: The course is taught using a flipped classroom model. Students watch recorded lectures on their own time and then attend class for discussion and related exercises. A student should be able to watch recorded lectures even when they must be absent from class. Any more than 4 absences from class would constitute a majority, in which case I expect a student would have a hard time passing the course.
Plan for make-up participation points, if applicable (e.g. .submit additional blog posts on Canvas):A student with an excused absence will not be penalized, so make-up points are not necessary.
Please explain why absences beyond the number allowed in the syllabus is not a reasonable accommodation.
