Policies and Procedures for Housing Accommodations Due to a Disability

Some students may need special housing accommodations for their disability.  In order to ensure that each student's request is considered in a consistent and appropriate manner, students should comply with the following process.

1. Students must send a completed Request for Disability Accommodation in Housing & Residence Life form to the Disability Services Coordinator by the above specified deadline.

2. Students must provide appropriate documentation (as indicated on the request form) to the Disability Services Coordinator by the above specified deadline.

3. Students should meet with the Disability Services Coordinator to discuss requests and authorize the release of information to the appropriate Housing & Residence Life personnel.

After the above procedures are completed and the request approved, Disability Services personnel will notify Housing & Residence Life personnel of the approved request.  Housing assignments are based on the severity of the condition, the timing of the request, the feasibility of any necessary modifications and the availability of appropriate space.

Due to limited availability of single rooms, requests for singles based on ADD, AD/HD or LD cannot be granted.

All documentation should be sent to:
