I'm looking for input on my school vs disability situation. Location: Las Vegas, NV.
I'm registered with my college's disability center, and I was planning to utilize their accommodations for three proctored exams this semester for a math course. The first of which was completed successfully. (I take my tests alone in a room, because of debilitating anxiety in testing rooms and a major panic disorder that I see a psychiatrist for and have been hospitalized for multiple times.) I digress.
I made an appointment to take my test during the required test window the professor gives. I showed up as expected, prepared. The computer at the Disability center was unfortunately on lockdown with some sort of administrator password no one had access to. An hour of phone calls from the office got no answers. They eventually sent me home and reassured me that they would discuss this with my teacher to extend the test window due to the situation being out of my control.
It's been a week and a half of Hell for me. The director of the Disability center cannot get my teacher to allow me to take this test. She is saying I could have taken it without my accommodations to have met her deadline and she's trying to get me to appeal the class for my tuition back a month from the class' completion!
What are my rights here? Any ideas on who to talk to? How can she go against the law?
