[nabs-l] inaccessibility in the class may end up costing me apassing grade!

[Abby Bolling]

I was able to go to the disability services, and they said that they are 
behind me 100%. (I guess it helps when the director, Tom Webb, helped 
write the ADA before coming to the university... :) just a fun fact!)
My prof's supervisor is meeting with my prof tomorrow, and both of them 
will email me about the outcome. The person under the director for ODS 
said the thing that will probably happen is I will receive an Incomplete 
for the class. Because if the prof fails me, ODS will veto the decision 
and make him give me an I. that will mean that I will be working my butt 
off over winter break so I can take my composition class next semester!
Anyway, I will be sending you guys updates as I get them!
Thank you all for your help!

Abby
