Self-declaration forms

On September 1, 2022, the UM implemented a new policy called “Self-Declaration for Brief and Temporary Student Absences.” This page is intended to provide additional information about how this policy applies to students and answer some commonly asked questions.

Self-Declaration Policy for Students

Extensions and deferrals

The Faculty of Law is committed to supporting students with SAS accommodations to the best of our ability. We also want to do our best to support students who encounter emergencies. In order to do that, all students should be aware that deferrals should be requested as far in advance before the due date or exam date as possible.

Extensions should be requested 48 hours before the due date or exam if possible. Please be aware that extension requests sent outside of office hours will be reviewed the next business day.

We recognize that emergencies can come up, and we will also accommodate actual emergencies.

This form is for a single deferral or extension. If you have multiple requests, please fill out this form for each request. Deferrals are for examinations/tests. Extensions are for assignments/papers. If your inquiry is related to an SAS accommodation, please contact your SAS advisor and do not use this form.
