Student Disability Accommodations

Students with ADA recognized disabilities are eligible to apply for accommodations at Des Moines University Medicine and Health Sciences. Students are encouraged to apply well in advance of the date accommodations are needed as a thorough review of your documentation is necessary.

In order to apply for accommodations for a temporary condition, please review the policy and procedure for Accommodations and Temporary Assistance in Educational Programming (specifically dealing with temporary medical accommodations).
