Are you a student that has difficulty attending to your studies due to a chronic invisible condition and/or temporary injury? 

You do not have to use a wheelchair, have vision or hearing loss, or have a learning disability to be eligible for accommodations. The effects of any diagnosed medical condition or impairment may be significant enough to make you eligible for accommodations. Students experiencing difficulty completing assignments and/or meeting course expectations due to a temporary injury can also consult with our office. Take a moment to look at our Frequently Asked Questions page. This may answer some of your questions. If you aren’t sure and would like to speak confidentially about your individual situation, please call us at 1-800-847-3000, ext. 2244, or email the office at disability.services@esc.edu.
