Accommodations and Modifications

For students with disabilities, medical needs, or other situations that require accommodations or modifications to your Housing or Dining plan, we work with Health Services, the Counseling and Student Development Center, the LGBT Resource Center, and the Center for Access-Ability Resources to determine what adaptations are appropriate and how we can best accommodate these needs.

Our accessible accommodations include, but are not limited to:

  • Visual alerting devices
  • Braille signage
  • Private bathroom facilities
  • Wheelchair accessible toilet, sink, and shower facilities
  • Adapted height desks, closets, and beds
  • Wireless transmitters to automatically open power doors
  • Keyless entry on student room doors
  • Wheelchair friendly laundry machines

If you would like to begin the process of requesting an accommodation or modification, please complete the Accommodations and Modifications Request form.
