Get Support: Academic Support Services
If you have a personal or medical issue that is impacting your ability to attend class, complete work, or take an exam, please discuss this with your cohort advisor along with notifying your instructors and TAs. If you don’t know the name of your advisor, please contact your Program Office.
Recording Classroom Sessions
This information is to help you understand MIT Sloan’s policy for classroom recordings (i.e. audio, visual, live streaming, photography and other similar formats). Most class sessions are not recorded.
If you will be absent from class due to a religious holiday, a serious illness, or other emergency, please contact your advisor to discuss the possibility of having your classes recorded. Sloan Technology Services will then send you a link to the recording within several days.
Classes may be recorded without additional notification to students for the following reasons:
- Student or faculty needs to view the course because of absence for long-term illness, religious holiday, or similar accommodation
- Faculty use for training and development or co-teaching
You will be notified, and appropriate permission will be obtained, if a class is being recorded for any other purpose. You are not permitted to make video or acoustic recordings of your classes.
Student Disability Services
MIT Sloan values an inclusive environment. If you need a disability accommodation to access this course, please communicate with your instructor early in the semester. If you have already been approved for accommodations, please contact your program office so we can implement your approved accommodations. If you have not yet been approved for accommodations, please contact Student Disability Services at uaap-sds@mit.edu to learn about their procedures. We encourage you to do so early in the term to allow sufficient time for implementation of services/accommodations that you may need. For more information, please see the MIT Student Disabilities Services site.
