There are limited housing spaces available for accommodations and priority will be given to individuals who qualify under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and\u00a0Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. All disabilities, and history pertaining to the disability, must be documented by a licensed and board certified provider with competence and expertise in the area of diagnosis.<\/p>\n
Special housing accommodations are not standard academic accommodations. In order to determine if special housing is a reasonable accommodation, we must receive detailed current and comprehensive documentation of the correlations of your disability with the need for special housing that cannot be secured through the Residential Housing Room Selection Process.<\/p>\n
Documentation should be submitted with professional letterhead and the qualifications of the examiner provided. Please include the\u00a0Petition for Reasonable Housing Accommodations<\/a>\u00a0with your documentation.\u00a0Please see the\u00a0<\/span>ADA Housing Policy and Procedures<\/a>\u00a0for further information regarding campus housing and accommodations.\u00a0Please also see the\u00a0Policy on Reasonable Accommodations in Housing Assignments<\/a>\u00a0for further information regarding guiding principles and specific procedures for reasonable accommodations in University housing assignments.<\/p>\n A major part of the college educational experience is for students to learn to live on their own. ÿÈÕ´óÈü provides on-campus housing to enhance intellectual, social, and cultural development through the experience of living with other individuals who bring a variety of social and cultural backgrounds to the community.<\/p>\n Please note that requests for single rooms based on a student\u2019s desire to have a \u201cquiet, undisturbed place to study\u201d are not considered eligible under the Americans with Disabilities Act or Section 504. By virtue of the shared facilities, resources, and number of people living under one roof in the residence halls, a single room does not provide for such quiet, distraction-free space to any appreciable degree beyond living in a standard double room.<\/p>\n The housing deposit deadline for\u00a0upperclassmen <\/b>is\u00a0April 14; therefore, the Student Access Office recommends that students who wish to request a housing accommodation file a Petition prior to\u00a0March 15.<\/p>\n
