Temporary Impairments

Student Responsibilities:

The Disability Resource Center understands that individuals with temporary impairments that are a result of injuries, surgery, or short-term medical conditions may need access to temporary accommodations in the classroom. Examples of temporary impairments may include, but are not limited, broken limbs, hand injuries, or short-term impairments following surgery or medical treatments. The Disability Resource Center works closely with Student Care and Outreach to support students with temporary impairments. To receive temporary accommodations
