Temporary Disabilities
Students with temporary disabilities are not eligible for protection under the ADA Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA). A temporary disability is an impairment that is expected to last less than 6 months (e.g. broken arm or leg, recovering from surgery). However, Student Disability Services recognizes the need to provide services to students with temporary disabling conditions so that they can continue to make progress toward their degrees.
With appropriate documentation from a licensed professional or physician verifying disability, students may qualify for specific services such as notetaking, test accommodations, or cart service. Services are determined on a case-by-case basis. In order to begin the process, please complete and submit the Application for Services and the Disability Verfication form-Physical (portion to be completed by a licensed professional or physician).
For individuals with a temporary mobility impairment, such as a broken leg, a motorized cart may be available during regular business hours. Please contact Tracy Tanga at 619-594-6473 for additional information.
