Services to Students with Temporary Impairments
Temporary impairments such as broken bones, temporary illness, or incapacity while recovering
from surgery on a limb are not commonly regarded as disabilities. The degree of limitation of major
life functions and the duration of such impairments are not substantial enough to cause them to fall
under the statutes that give rise to the provision of services to MSU-Bozeman students with
disabilities.
However, as a courtesy to student and faculty, Disabled Student Services at MSU-Bozeman does provide some services to students with temporary impairments. These services are
typically limited to moving classrooms to accessible locations when a student's impairment (a leg
in a cast, for example) prevents him or her from climbing stairs; access to adaptive technology; some
exam and quiz accommodations; and the loan of a wheelchair for on-campus use.
