Admissions and Financial Aid

Students with Special Needs

Applicants to Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine must be physically and mentally able to cope with the rigors of the curriculum and the demanding nature of the veterinary profession. Established academic requirements are essential to the programs of instruction for all students in veterinary medical programs and cannot be waived. Attempts will be made to accommodate and retain qualified applicants with disabilities unless results of evaluations indicate that an individual, given reasonable accommodation, will not be able to perform with adequate skill and efficiency the essential functions required by the veterinary curriculum and profession.

Persons with questions concerning their particular qualifications are encouraged to contact the Office of Admissions at (508) 839-7920 to arrange an appointment for individual consultation and advice prior to formal application.
