Temporary Disabilities

Temporary disabilities are disabilities that affect academic participation for a limited period. Many students with temporary disabilities work directly with their instructors to get the support they need without formally registering with D&A.

Disabilities lasting four weeks or more — such as concussions, broken bones, mononucleosis and complex injuries — may qualify for formal accommodations through D&A. Information about who handles situations that don't require registration with our office is available on our Temporary Accommodations page.

Barriers to Access

Barriers vary depending on the nature of your injury or illness. Talk to D&A about what support makes sense for your situation.
