Temporary Accommodations

1. Complete and submit the Disability Resource Center Student Application.
    
2. Submit documentation of a temporary disability/condition. Students are strongly encouraged to upload their disability documentation while completing their DRC Student Application.
    
3. A DRC staff member will contact you to schedule a Temporary Accommodation Intake Appointment to discuss your request. Please be aware that this is a REQUIRED appointment, as the information obtained is an essential component in the determination of temporary reasonable accommodations and services.

Students requesting notification of absence should submit requests to SUCARES@salisbury.edu after notifying their professors. Tiffany Arrington, Student Affairs Case Manager, will provide follow up, as appropriate. Questions regarding absence notification can be directed to the Office of Student Affairs at 410-543-6080. 

All documentation submitted should be prepared by a qualified professional. A qualified professional is defined as an individual who is licensed or is a formally recognized expert in the medical, psychological, and/or educational field with the authority to make diagnoses and/or recommendations in their specific field of practice. Documentation of a disability may include assessments, reports, and/or letters from qualified health care providers, psychologists, or diagnosticians, and/or information from a previous school. In order to ensure an objective assessment, the professional completing the evaluation must be an impartial individual who is not related to the student. Documentation of a disability should include the following:

• Typed on appropriate letterhead and include the name, date, title, address, phone number, and signature of the professional who prepared the documentation.
• A statement of a specific diagnosis of a disability including diagnostic codes, as appropriate.
