From time to time an instructor may feel they cannot implement the "Access to Lecture Material; recording capability for lectures in a class" accommodation in a class. As per The Policy “The instructor shall consult with their Dean and collaborate with SAS to discuss alternative solutions related to the accommodation plan if necessary”.
