Accessibility Services Office

Equal Educational Opportunity

The Accessibility Services Office partners with students to create individualized plans, connect them with campus resources, and empower them to be their own advocates. Our goal is to remove barriers, ensuring that our students have equal access throughout their college experience. Accessibility Services also works with faculty and staff to promote awareness across campus.

Accommodations

Approved accommodations are valid for one academic year. Prior to the start of the next academic year, students are required to reapply for accommodations.

Extended time on tests

Housing Accommodations

Housing Accommodations

Students seeking housing accommodations due to a documented disability or medical condition (other than requesting an air conditioner) should complete the Housing Accommodation Application (PDF) and return it to Accessibility Services or fill out the online form below.

Housing Accommodation Application

Students must submit the Housing Accommodation Application to Accessibility Services prior to the following deadlines:

Returning students: March 1
Freshman or Transfer students: June 1

Priority is given to students who complete their forms by these deadlines. Requests made after the deadlines will be reviewed for eligibility and then wait-listed, pending space availability. Students are not guaranteed housing accommodation approval despite completing the required steps.

Residential Housing Air Conditioner Accommodation

Students may request to bring a personal air conditioning unit, in the event that a medical diagnosis necessitates this accommodation. Students should complete the A/C Request Form and provide medical documentation to Accessibility Services.
