Chapter 6 – Temporary Accommodations

UTA is committed to supporting the academic success of all students and recognizes that certain life events may adversely affect a student’s ability to fully participate in class.

Students who experience a temporary injury (e.g., a broken arm, hand, or leg), or medical emergency (e.g., surgery, pregnancy complications, or other medical conditions that may require a recovery period), and require assistance should register with the SAR Center. Additionally, students should meet with their course faculty and academic advisor as soon as possible to determine appropriate plans for coursework.

In some cases, it may be more appropriate to discuss the possibility of receiving an incomplete for the class or the need to withdraw from the class and/or semester, along with a referral to other support resources on campus.

Documentation for temporary accommodations should include the following information:

1. The date of injury or when the condition started
2. Recovery period
3. Any procedures that may occur during the semester
4. Date that they are able to return
5. Limitations (if applicable)
