Reasonable Housing Accommodation Requests

If you are seeking accessible housing accommodations due to a physical, psychological, or other disability-related limitation, contact Student Access prior to June 1. Review the information regarding reasonable accommodations and documentation guidelines. Following a decision that a housing accommodation is needed for access, Student Access will notify Housing and Residential Experience. The office will make every effort to find an appropriate and reasonable assignment as recommended by Student Access.
