 Note that you **cannot** use the Additional Accommodations Form if you encounter a logistical oversight, such as Gradescope tests not passing, submitting only one portion of the homework, submitting to the wrong assignment portal, or not properly tagging pages on Gradescope. It is the students’ responsibility to identify and resolve these issues well in advance of the on-time deadline.
 We will not grant accommodations for these cases; instead, please use slip days to cushion these submission errors.

Additionally, simply submitting a request does not guarantee you will receive an extension. **Even if your work is incomplete, please submit before the deadline so you can receive work for the work you did complete.**
