How do students request disability-related housing accommodations?
New York University is committed to providing students with any medically necessary accommodations in their assigned housing. NYU, however, also has a housing shortage accompanied by a large number of requests for single occupancy housing and housing in the immediate Washington Square area. To this end, the Special Housing Accommodations Evaluation Committee meets periodically to consider student requests for all special housing accommodations and determine appropriate assignments. The Committee is composed of professionals from the Offices of Housing and Residential Life, the Vice President for Student Affairs, the University Health Center, and the Center for Students with Disabilities. Upon completion of a NYU Housing Application, students requesting special housing accommodations must submit a Special Housing Accommodation Request Form and appropriate medical documentation to the committee by the appropriate annual/semester deadlines to ensure timely evaluation of housing requests.
