A page within Disability Resource Center

UWL Disability Resource Center Logo

Individuals with temporary disabilities are encouraged to register with the Disability Resource Center and meet with an advisor to discuss appropriate accommodations. Temporary disabilities can include but are not limited to concussions, broken limbs, or post-surgical procedures. All temporary disabilities are handled on a case-by-case basis so accommodations may not always be available. 

Medical Equipment

Check out the Student Health Center's Services and Fees webpage for medical equipment for rent or purchase..

Parking

For a temporary medical condition, a disabled parking permit can be obtained through the Wisconsin Department of Transportation located at 9477 HWY 16 East in Onalaska.
