HOUSING ACCOMMODATIONS
Living on campus is an important part of the college student experience. The college strives to provide access to this part of the college experience to all students. Students with disabilities who plan to live on campus should complete their housing accommodation request before June of each year for incoming August housing placement. Housing accommodation requests are approved as available after June of each year for the ensuing academic year.
Please note that accommodations are only for your LIVING SPACE. Your residence hall room is not deemed your only location for studying or being alone, therefore requests for a single room based on studying and being alone preferences will not be considered.
Residence Hall Accommodations include, but are not limited to:
- ADA accessible rooms or bathrooms
- Strobe light equipped rooms for fire and doorbell
- Single rooms (limited)
- Service and assistance animals
