Final test

Question 6

Alex is a student with ME. He did not disclose his disability when he applied to the institution he is studying at, although he was provided with several appropriate opportunities to do so. At the end of his first year on the course, a month before he is due to sit his end-of-year exams, he asks his tutor for extra time in exams so that he can have rest breaks, mentioning his ME as the reason why. His tutor should ... :

A) agree to the request only if Alex can provide medical or other evidence of his disability and the effect it has on him;
B) agree to the request, taking the student at his word because he is a wheelchair user;
C) refuse the request after checking with the disability co-ordinator at the institution who confirms that no disclosure was made at the appropriate time;
D) refuse the request because the disability co-ordinator has not filled out a form indicating any special needs for Alex although such a form exists for other students on the course.
