Temporary Medical Conditions

Student Services will provide assistance to students who experience temporary medical conditions that interfere with their ability to fully participate in their academic program. Examples of temporary conditions include, but are not limited to, broken bones, hand or back injuries, pregnancy complications, short term impairment following surgery or other medical procedures or nursing after pregnancy. Documentation may be required from a health care provider to support the student’s request. The manner and type of assistance will be determined in consultation with the faculty of the student’s program of study. Students with temporary medical conditions are still required to meet the educational and technical standards of the University and their program. If a student is not able to meet the educational and technical standards with reasonable assistance, the student will be placed on medical leave of absence.
