Are there currently enrolled graduate students with physical disabilities (level of mobility/ severe or non severe) that are registered with the Disabled Student Services Office (DSSO), that have suffered from a disability related illness during their tenure at the university (that requires a couple weeks worth of makeup work), that have household responsibilities, have a job that requires them to work over 20 hours a week, and suffer from financial burden preventing them from having assistant care at home, and despite all these obstacles are able to maintain a GPA of 2.5 or higher and graduated from UTEP in four years or under?
