Temporary Conditions

About

A temporary condition is a short-term, disabling condition or impairment due to injury, surgery or a medical condition. Students with a temporary condition may need access to the accommodations or services offered by the Office of AccessABILITY.

Some examples of a temporary condition may include, but are not limited to various injuries such as broken limbs or extremities.
