A student who has worked with CSU’s Student Disability Center to document a learning disability may qualify for a reasonable accommodation in their course. An accommodation might include additional time to submit an assignment, excused from an assignment or extra time to finish a quiz.
A consideration would involve working with a student who has had a disruption in their life which might impact their course work. For example, the flu, death in the family, hospitalization. Students can work with CSU’s Student Case Management team if they have questions on how to manage these types of events and how to communicate their circumstances to their instructors.
The Canvas course instructor determines how and which tools they might use to provide an accommodation or allow a consideration for course work.

Differentiated Assignments
A Differentiated assignment is used to set different assignment due/availability dates for students. This can be used when a student with an approved learning disability needs additional time to complete an assignment, or when a student experienced an emergency and you’d like to give that student additional time or different due date.

Excuse a Student from an Assignment
An instructor can enter a grade of EX for a student’s assignment in the gradebook or change the cell for the student’s assignment to Excused. This will excuse the student from doing the assignment and the assignment will not be counted in the grade calculation for the student.
