Dear Professor,
I am writing to provide notice of circumstances affecting my academic participation that are protected under Title IX. I have experienced sexual violence and am requesting an extension on applicable coursework without academic penalty.

Option 3:
Dear Professor,
This email serves as formal notice of circumstances affecting my academic participation that are protected under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. I have experienced sexual violence. As a result, I am entitled to reasonable academic adjustments to ensure continued, equitable access to my education. I am therefore requesting an extension on applicable coursework, without academic penalty. This communication is limited in scope and intent. Reporting remains solely my decision, and nothing in this notice initiates or implies a formal complaint. No additional disclosure is required or warranted for the implementation of accommodations under Title IX. Institutions committed to academic excellence and societal progress do not require survivors to choose between dignity and education. In a just and evolved academic environment, support is procedural, respect is assumed, and access is preserved as a matter of course. I look forward to moving ahead with the appropriate academic adjustments in place. Please confirm implementation or indicate if coordination with the Title IX office is required. Thank you for your professionalism and discretion.
