Housing Accommodations

The Center for Students with Disabilities (CSD) and the Department of Residential Life work collaboratively in order to provide approved housing accommodations for students with documented disabilities.  The CSD engages in an interactive process with each student and reviews requests for accommodations on an individualized, case-by-case basis.  Only students with documented disabilities for whom living in the residence hall is not viable without an accommodation, qualify for housing accommodations. While every effort is made to honor a student’s location preference, assignments are made based on the approved accommodation(s); specific residential areas or buildings are not guaranteed.

Student Responsibilities

  • You must be eligible for on-campus housing according to Residential Life guidelines in order to engage with the CSD to request housing accommodations. Please review information regarding eligibility and important dates on the Residential Life website.
  • If you are requesting a housing accommodation for the first time, register online with the CSD.
  • If you are approved for a housing accommodation, your Disability Service Professional (DSP) will communicate these accommodations to Residential Life and follow up with you on next steps.

CSD Responsibilities

  • Meet with students to engage in the interactive process and determine if a housing accommodation is indicated.
  • Notify students and Residential Life about students' approved housing accommodations.

Residential Life Responsibilities

  • Make housing assignments based on students’ approved housing accommodations, preference and room availability.
  • Provide information regarding students’ assignments in MyHousing and notify students accordingly.
