Room Selection

Medical Accommodations

Disabilities Services and Residential Services work closely together to review requests and identify appropriate and available housing. Utilizing the information provided in the Accessibility Request and documentation provided by the medical provider, a determination will be made on whether and the extent to which accommodation can be provided. Diagnosis alone does not automatically qualify a student for the specific type of accommodations requested on the housing application. Depending on room availability, Residential Services will provide reasonable accommodation, but cannot guarantee that your room preferences will be met beyond those required by your approved need.

Medical Accommodations

For New Students

Students must complete the Accessibility Request through Disabilities Services and provide the required documentation by the health care provider. These forms must be submitted in close timing with the housing application (by May 22 for first-year; transfer and exchange students must apply for housing and submit the forms as soon as possible).   Please be aware that as the summer progresses space becomes more limited so requested accommodations may not be available. 

Medical Accommodations

For Returning Students

If a Housing Accommodation Request Form is already on file, the student should contact Disabilities Services prior to the start of the Room Selection process for next year. Students may be asked to provide updated comprehensive information if needed. If a form is not on file, it must be submitted prior to the beginning of the Room Selection process. A delay in submission of documentation may impact the ability to accommodate the student’s request. Housing Occupancy may require that the student participate in the regular room selection process to try to obtain their preferred room type. If after participating in the process the student’s needs are not met, Housing Occupancy will work with the student to meet their approved needs.
