A temporary disability is defined as a disability that affects an individual for a short period of time.

Temporary disabilities are considered to be in the medical domain and require the diagnosis by a professional with expertise in the area of the particular illness or disability. Students are encouraged to provide their clinicians with a copy of these guidelines.<\/p>\n<p>To initiate the accommodation review and determination process, appropriate documentation must include the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A clearly written comprehensive statement of the temporary disability diagnosed by a qualified professional trained in this area including current functional limitations relevant to academic functioning or any aspect of University life.<\/li>\n<li>A description of the severity, longevity, and\/or expected progression or stability of the temporary disability or condition and date(s) of examination.<\/li>\n<li>Medical information relating to the student\u2019s needs within a specific time frame, including the impact of treatment on the student\u2019s ability to meet the demands of the post-secondary environment.<\/li>\n<li>Suggestions on specific types of accommodations which may minimize academic barriers.<\/li>\n<li>Clinicians name, credentials, phone number, address and should be a signed original copy.<\/li>\n<li>The University has the right to request additional documentation if the original documentation is incomplete or insufficient in determining a qualifying disability or reasonable accommodation(s).<\/li>\n<li>The University has the right to deny accommodations in the event that the request is deemed unreasonable or\u00a0presents an undue hardship.<\/li>\n<li>The University has the right to deny accommodations in the event that the documentation provided does not support the specific accommodation request in accordance with the ADA.<\/li>\n<li>Documentation must demonstrate a direct correlation between the diagnosed disability, the barrier to access caused by the disability, and the requested accommodation.<\/li>\n<li>Reasonable accommodations cannot fundamentally alter any program or course requirements.<\/li>\n<li>Any cost incurred in obtaining additional information must be borne by the student.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Students who experience a temporary short-term medical disability unrelated to a documented disability may require temporary academic accommodations.
