Accessible Housing Accommodations
The Student Accessibility Services Office (SAS) is the designated entity on campus to collect all disability documentation as it relates to disability-related accommodations for University Housing for on-campus residence halls and apartments. Students with a documented long-term or permanent disabilities who's disability must necessitate adjustments to the living environment, may request accessible housing accommodations. Students need to apply and complete the registration process before room assignments are made. University Housing will work to fill requests after room assignments are made, but some accommodations may be limited by housing availability.
Apply 6 weeks prior. Accessible housing accommodations application and approval is a longer process. We recommend applying 6 weeks prior to the start of the semester.
