Temporary Accomodations

Curry College recognizes that individuals with temporary injuries, recovering from surgery, or with short term medical conditions may need accommodations to access classrooms, course resources, and/or campus facilities. Temporary disabilities may include, but are not limited to; broken limbs, hand injuries, concussion, or short term impairment while recovering from (medically necessary) surgery.

Missing a few classes or deadlines because of acute illness, such as the flu, does not require formal accommodation and students should be able to work directly with their professors and the Academic Success Office to get back on track. We are, however, always here to consult or support students in their medical and/or academic recovery.

Depending on the nature of the temporary disability and supporting documentation, the most common accommodations for which students may be approved include:

• Accommodations to capture information in the classroom
• Appropriate housing based accommodations
• Temporary accessible parking and/or transportation

Requesting Temporary Accommodations

Follow the general process for requesting accommodations:

• Reach out to the Office of Accessibility Services (OAS) to schedule an appointment to discuss the nature of your concerns. Accessibility Services can be contacted via email at accessibilityservices@curry.edu and via phone at 617-333-2385.
• Provide documentation from a medical clinician that includes expected temporary limitations, anticipated recovery time, and recommended accommodations.
