Temporary Disabilities
Services are available to students with temporary disabilities to provide access to campus academic programs and services. Examples include transportation by CULift, a scribe for test-taking, and the use of carbonless copy notepads. Assistance cannot be provided for tasks of a personal nature such as typing homework or assisting with home-health care. Students must submit documentation of their condition by using The Verification of Physical, Medical or Sensory Disabilities Form. This form can be requested directly from SDS, is available in the SDS office and can also be accessed at the following addresses.

Please call SDS with your questions and concerns related to a temporary disability and we will discuss resources and assistance that can be provided by Cornell during this difficult time.
