Maintaining a high academic standing

A student with a visible or invisible disability (defined as someone who has, or believes they have, a long-term or recurring issue that affects one or more major activities that others might consider daily functions); this definition also includes the perception that a disability exists among others. We know that 90% of disabilities on campus are invisible, thus people with all disabilities are encouraged to apply.
