Housing Accommodations Process

Special Housing Accommodation Requests

A student may request a Housing Accommodation Request based on a documented disability. It is the student’s responsibility to initiate the process for an accommodation request through the Office of Student Disability Services.

In order to request a Housing Accommodation Request through the Office of Student Disability Services, the following guidelines should be followed:

• Students requesting Housing Accommodations should submit the completed form(s) and supporting medical documentation to the Office of Student Disability Services.
• Once a student’s Housing Accommodation Request and supporting medical documentation has been received and reviewed, the Office of Student Disability Services will forward the granted accommodation letter to the University Housing Office, if approved.
• • All returning students should submit a request for a housing accommodation before assignments are made, by March 3, 2022. 

• • • Once housing has been assigned to a student, the University Housing Office may not be able to make changes to implement a granted accommodation based on the available assignment options.

• • • If the University Housing Office does not have available assignment options that meet the granted accommodation, the following options may be extended: the student can be added to a waiting list for assignment options that will meet the granted accommodation, or the student can be exempt from living on campus.

• • All new incoming students should submit a request for a housing accommodation before assignments are made, by May 1, 2022.

• • • Once housing has been assigned to a student, the University Housing Office may not be able to make changes to implement a granted accommodation based on the available assignment options.

• • • If the University Housing Office does not have available assignment options that meet the granted accommodation, the following options may be extended: the student can be added to a waiting list for assignment options that will meet the granted accommodation, or the student can be exempt from living on campus.

• Any incomplete Housing Accommodation Requests will not be reviewed.
• Students requesting a Housing Accommodation Request are responsible for meeting all housing deadlines set forth by the University Housing Office.
• Submitting a formal request for a housing accommodation with supporting medical documentation to the Office of Student Disability Services does not automatically warrant approval.
• Students should proceed with the regular housing sign-up process and housing deadlines until notified that a housing accommodation has been granted by the Office of Student Disability Services.
• All housing accommodation requests are reviewed on a case base case basis by the Office of Student Disability Services.
• Any Housing Accommodation Requests that are received, by the Office of Student Disability Services, after any of the housing deadlines, set forth by the University Housing Office, will be reviewed as received. However, any granted housing accommodation determinations may not be implemented the same semester or academic year of the request if there are no available assignment options that meet a granted accommodation at the time of the determination.
• If the University Housing Office does not have available assignment options that meet a granted accommodation, the following options may be extended: the student can be added to a waiting list for assignment options that will meet the granted accommodation, or the student can be exempt from living on campus.
• All applicable fees are not refundable if housing accommodation requests are not submitted to the Office of Student Disability Services prior to the deadline set forth by the University Housing Office.
