Student Accessibility Services (SAS) provides the following assistance and resources to students who experience injuries or medical conditions that temporarily interfere with their ability to participate in the college's educational program.
Provisional Accommodations
- Students with temporary impairments that rise to the level of disability may benefit from requesting provisional academic and/or housing accommodations.
- Students experiencing a short-term temporary illness (e.g., infection, flu, mono) that does not rise to the level of disability are advised to email their faculty about their condition and work with them independently on any missed work.
Assistive Technology
- Assistive technologies and/or auxiliary aids may benefit students with temporary disabilities by lessening or removing barriers (e.g., speech-to-text software, text-to-speech software, etc.).
Lynx Cart
- The Lynx Cart service provides complimentary intra-campus transportation for students with mobility impairments. Students should contact Campus Safety at 901-843-3880 to request an escort.
Campus Accessibility Map
- Students who use mobility aids such as wheelchairs, scooters, canes, crutches, etc. may benefit from the Campus Accessibility Map. This resource shows accessible pathways, ramps, building entrances, restroom locations, and parking spaces.
Temporary Accessible Parking
- Parking in accessible spaces on campus requires a state-issued temporary disability placard (e.g., TN temporary placard request process).
