Special Housing Needs

Home Apply for Housing Special Housing Needs

We understand that some students may have housing needs that require additional consideration. Our goal is to support you in finding a living environment that is safe, inclusive and conducive to your well-being and success. We encourage you to review those resources and reach out early if you have questions or need guidance on next steps.

Housing accommodations related to disabilities or medical needs are coordinated through the Accessibility and Disability Service (ADS) office, which works in partnership with Residence Life to review requests and determine appropriate housing options.

Information about assistance and support animals in the residence halls and gender inclusive housing options is also available on the pages linked below. 

Accessible walk-in shower with a white curtain, safety grab bar, and a built-in folding bench.
