The Department of Housing and Residential life has policies in place which address the accessibility of residence areas for students. ODS works with the Department of Housing and Residential life to provide information on resources or equipment to provide access for a student with a disability. Special housing requests must be submitted to the Office of Disability Services two weeks prior to the housing deadline for the semester in which you are requesting the accommodation. Please visit the housing website for specific housing deadlines - Housing Website Link.
A student may request a Special Housing Accommodation based on disability or a medical condition. In order to request a Special Housing Accommodation, the following guidelines must be followed:
The Special Housing Accommodations Committee will review each request. Written notification is sent to the student and Office of Housing and Residential Life. Incomplete requests will not be reviewed. Students requesting a Special Housing Accommodation are responsible for meeting all housing deadlines set forth by the Department of Housing and Residential life. Submitting documentation to our office does not guarantee that a specific request will be granted. Students should proceed with regular housing sign up until notified that a special accommodation has been granted. All housing accommodations are individually determined and based on availability. All applicable fees are not refundable if accommodations are not submitted prior to the deadline for submitting documentation.
