Housing Accommodations Policy

The University shall provide reasonable housing accommodations for students requiring them due to their documented disabilities. Reasonable housing accommodations include, but are not limited to, accessible residence hall rooms and single room status.

All students requesting housing accommodations must complete their housing applications and pay their housing deposits within the timeframes published on the Housing and Residence Life website. They are encouraged to go through the self-selection process required for all students requesting on-campus housing.

If housing accommodations are necessary, students must provide sufficient documentation stating why housing accommodations are required to the Office of Educational Accessibility. This documentation will be carefully reviewed by staff from the Office of Educational Accessibility in order to ensure that the documentation and requests are valid. Staff from the Office of Educational Accessibility will meet with the student to develop specific housing accommodations.

Dietary Restrictions Guidelines

Students who have special dietary restrictions due to medical reasons should follow these procedures:

• Meet with dining services to see if they are able to meet your dietary needs without special accommodations.
• If you require a reduced meal plan or a diet beyond what is offered by dining services, present appropriate medical documentation of the disability to the Office of Educational Accessibility.
• The student should meet with staff member in OEA to discuss their dietary restrictions based on the documentation presented.
• Once it is determined that the student has specific needs due to medical reasons, the staff member in the OEA will work with dining services to ensure that dietary accommodations are met.
