Housing Accommodations

DASS works in collaboration with Housing & Residential Education (HRE) to provide reasonable accommodations within residential facilities for students with disabilities.

Housing Accommodation Request Deadlines for Priority Consideration:

Note: Housing accommodations depend on availability and are granted to those who complete the entire application process by the deadline. 

You must complete the DASS Housing Application form each year you need accommodations.

Housing Accommodations Steps:

Step 1: Complete the HRE Housing application.

• Visit the Housing Deadlines for application dates.

Step 2: Gather your Supporting Documentation. 

• Applications must include supporting documentation to verify requests. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed until all required documents are submitted.

Step 3: Complete the DASS Housing Accommodations Application

• Post-Deadline Accommodation Requests: Late housing requests are reviewed on a rolling basis. While DASS and HRE will address them promptly, priority is only granted to those who finish all 4 application steps before the priority housing accommodation deadline. 
• Revisions/Updates: If you need to make changes to a submitted request, please submit a new application.

Step 4: Meet with a DASS Counselor to review your application.

• DASS will contact you to schedule a meeting once your application is complete.
• Your housing accommodation request is not complete until you meet with a DASS counselor. They’ll review your request and decide if it’s approved. This must happen before the deadline.

Additional Information

• Academic and housing accommodations have separate applications. Apply for Academic Accommodations if you need support in class.
• DASS will inform you of the decision on your housing accommodation request, and HRE will notify you of your housing  placement.
• The housing accommodation process usually takes 2–4 weeks but may take longer. Providing accurate supporting documentation can help speed it up.
