Although most professors are accepting and understanding of accommodations, there are those few who may push students to do the work without accommodations.  One student with a chronic illness said, “There are professors that are more willing to work with you than others.  Most of mine have been really good, but I’ve had a couple who sort of said, ‘Well, I really want you to turn this paper in on time, so even though you’re really not feeling well, let’s see if you can make that happen anyway.’”  Hopefully, this does not happen to you.  But if it does, here’s what you can do:

1) You can consider reasoning with the professor, reminding him or her of your accommodation letter received at the beginning of the semester.  Sometimes this can be difficult because your professor is in a position of authority.  But you should always remember that your accommodations are your legal right.

2) If a professor is being pushy and you don’t want to push back, whether it be because you are worried about your grade in the class or what the professor will think of you, then it may be best to contact AEO.
