# Housing Accommodations

## Housing Accommodations

Students with disabilities may request specialized housing accommodations through the Specialized Resource Center (SRC). Requests should include documentation that explains the student’s disability-related housing needs.

### Required Documentation

Supporting documentation should include:

- The disability diagnosis.
- Relevant tests or evaluations, including the dates and results.
- A history of disability-related functional limitations.
- Current functional limitations that affect the student’s housing needs.
- Recommended housing accommodations.
- A range of suitable accommodation options, when applicable.

The University may consult appropriate professionals, such as a clinical psychologist, nurse or physician, when reviewing a request. Final housing accommodation decisions are based on the student’s documented disability-related needs.

### Application Deadlines

#### Continuing Students

- **Fall semester:** March 1
- **Spring semester:** November 15

#### New Students

- **Fall semester:** June 1
- **Spring semester:** November 15

### Important Information

- Requests submitted after the applicable deadline generally will be considered for the following semester and are subject to housing availability.
- Students who apply for a housing accommodation must also complete the University’s standard housing registration process while awaiting a decision.
