Student Housing

Student Housing collaborates with the office of Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) to establish/provide housing accommodations for its residents.  A resident needing special accommodations must contact the SSD office and provide medical documentation in regards to the disability/accommodation within 14 days of submitting their student housing application.  Once sufficient documentation is provided, a Access and Ability Specialist (AAS), in discussion with the student, will provide a formal letter to the personnel at Student Housing outlining the approved accommodations.
