Temporary Accommodations

Process for requesting temporary accommodations: Students requesting temporary accommodations may do so by contacting the DRC to schedule a short consultation appointment. Students will also be required to submit documentation of their condition prior to or during the consultation appointment. Students with temporary conditions are required to follow the same disability documentation criteria as students with permeant disabilities.

To schedule an appointment: please contact the DRC at (410) 543-6087 or in-person in the Guerreri Student Union, Rm 229. Documentation can be submitted via email to disabilitysupport@salisbury.edu, via fax to (410) 543-6088, or hand-delivered to the GSU, Rm 229.

Absence notification: Students requesting notification of absence should submit requests to SUCARES@salisbury.edu after notifying their professors. Tiffany Cox-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.
