ADA/Medical Accommodations
This information only pertains to medical accommodation requests for apartments & residence halls.
Definition
A resident with disabilities, chronic medical conditions, or psychological conditions that inhibit a student's ability to live in certain apartments or residence halls may qualify for ADA/Medical accommodations. If residing in a university facility creates challenges due to any qualifying condition, documentation must be submitted. Accommodation examples include residing on a lower floor, wheelchair accessible rooms, reduced access to restrooms, etc.
Request Process
Student should complete the ADA/Medical Accommodations Request Form and have their medical provider complete the ADA/Medical Accommodations Medical Provider Form. A licensed medical provider must verify the student's condition. (The medical provider cannot be a friend or relative of the student.) Both forms must be submitted electronically to Housing & Residence Life in order to be considered.
Approval Process
Documentation will be reviewed by Housing & Residence Life, Health Services, and Disability Support Services (if applicable) within 7-10 business days of receipt. All documentation is confidential and shared with the above-mentioned staff in a decision-making capacity only. While all attempts are made to honor approved requests for medical/ADA singles, they are subject to space availability and are not guaranteed. As part of the verification process, the medical provider recommendation will include a notation of “required” or “beneficial.” Individuals with a “required” recommendation will be charged the double room rate for their single room accommodation; individuals with a “beneficial” recommendation will be charged the single room rate for the room assigned.
Notification
Housing & Residence Life will request any additional information and/or provide medical accommodation information via the student's 香港六合彩挂牌资料 Portal email.
Timeline
While there is no official deadline to submit requests for medical accommodations, failure to request accommodations in a timely manner may result in a delay of services and the priority date is March 1st. Our housing assignments process will begin April 1st and accommodation requests received by that date will receive priority assignment. We will continue to honor medical accommodations as space and availability allow. Our apartment assignment process is ongoing.
