Students whose first language is not English may experience linguistic barriers to
achieving their academic goals. To address this barrier and support our rich bilingual
students, AEDR has advocated for and received college approval for an extended
period for students who self-identify as non-native English speakers. We will discuss
how the process was developed and how instructors can support these students. and
outline the new process for students to request 1.5x longer on exams.
