What if I have health or physical challenges that would be affected by my living situation? What are Special Needs Accommodations?
The Office of Residence Life recognizes that some students have disabilities or special needs that may require special attention when determining residential living options. If you require special accommodations, please indicate this information on your New Student Housing Application. Students who need such accommodations must also contact Health and/or Counseling Services to discuss their circumstances and provide supporting documentation from your current physician, psychiatrist, etc. The Office of Residence Life will consult with the Health Services, Counseling Services, and/or the Office of Student Affairs and review all documentation for consideration. If approved, the student will be notified and assigned accordingly. Because space is limited, single-occupancy room assignments are not guaranteed and are based on demonstrated need. New students who are assigned to special accommodations for the 2009-2010 academic year will not have to resubmit medical documentation in the future,
