Arielle and all.
Communication with the professor is crucial, and sometimes that 
communication can lead to alternatives and possibly an incomplete.
Many schools also have the option for grade forgiveness.
but you have to pass the course the next time its taken.
Arielle makes some really good points about using other resources besides 
the dsS.
I agree completely.
You should also know that rehab will only pay for one re-take of a course.
If they are paying for your tuition.
That is something to consider.
Have a blesed day.
Best,

Hi Bobbi,

I guess I'm not understanding how you went through the entire course
without getting proper accommodations. Most schools have  a process
through which you could withdraw from a class part of the way through,
for any reason, without your GPA being impacted. Is there a reason why
you did not pursue the mid-semester withdrawal option? Were you
promised accommodations that never came? I think it will be harder for
you to argue for grade expungement if withdrawal was an option.
Many students have problems that impact their course grades besides
disability-related issues. Re-taking a course is often an option
provided to any student who earns a failing or near-failing grade in a
course, and this option benefits many students, for example those who
become ill or experience a family illness mid-semester but are able to
succeed the second time they take the course. You might explore taking
the course again with a different instructor if you feel the first
instructor didn't accommodate you properly.
Also, just FYI, there are several ways to access textbooks besides
waiting for the DSS office to provide them, including the libraries of
Learning Ally and BookShare, CourseSmart textbook rentals, scanning
your own books and hiring readers. Many DSS offices are simply
short-staffed and cannot provide the full set of accommodations to
every student in a timely fashion. It is ultimately up to you to
obtain your accommodations through whatever method is most reliable,
whether that be on or off campus, and I hate to say it, but if you
rely exclusively on the DSS office for all your accommodation needs,
you are likely to have problems in more courses than just that one. We
on the list are  all here to help you explore alternative means of
getting your materials so you can succeed in school.

Best,
Arielle
