Student Flexibility Email Templates

Using DRA Notification Template:

Students should send an email as soon as they are safely able to, to both the professor whose class you are using a DRA in as well as EAS. Here is a model email that the student can customize the bolded information. No additional information needs to be added unless the student wishes to communicate further about a particular assignment or exam. The student should continue to stay in contact with the professor to meet deadlines for any missed class due to a DRA.

To: Professor Email; [email protected]

Subject: DRA – [course]

Dear Professor [Name],

I need to use a DRA for [insert date] in your [course]. I will follow up with you either by email or during office hours if I have any questions about the material missed. I will turn in any missed work within the expected time frame per our initial DRA Flex Plan Agreement. Thank you for your support and understanding.

Sincerely,

[Student Full Name]

Using Assignment Extension Date Notification Template:

Students should send an email requesting an extension for an eligible assignment before the due date. Students should only request extensions for assignments that are eligible according to the previously completed Flex Plan Agreement for Flex Turn-In Dates.
