Temporary disabilities/injuries

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.
