Housing Accommodation Requests
There are disability-related accommodations for students who qualify for such housing options. If you are in need of such an accommodation, please follow the Housing Accommodation Request, below.
Individuals with substantially limiting disabilities* who are registering or already registered with Disability Access Services should discuss any reasonable housing accommodation with their assigned Disability Access Services (DAS) Specialist. If DAS recommends the accommodation to Housing & Residential Life, as long as the student has met the appropriate deadlines for application and deposit, the student will be accommodated. Any student applying for housing who has an approved accommodation or is working with DAS on an accommodation should also Select “Yes” to having a medical accommodation on all housing applications they complete.
Documentation must be completed by the clinician currently treating the student for the disability or medical condition for which the request for accommodation is made.
Please note that accommodations that are able to be approved may differ based on location and are subject to the physical infrastructure available at each campus.
