Requesting Housing Accommodations
Students with disabilities (as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990) who would like to request a residential accommodation on the part of the College should visit the office of Residential Life or the office of Disability Services to obtain the necessary forms. Those students requesting a housing accommodation must complete the "Housing Accommodation Application," and have their diagnosing physician complete the "Physician Referral Form." Both of these forms must be completed and returned to the Office of Residential Life before being sent to the Disabilities Committee for review and recommendation. The Disabilities Committee may request additional information of the physician as deemed appropriate. (New documentation must be completed each year an accommodation is requested).
Once a request for accommodation passes this stage and is determined reasonable the College will work with the student in an attempt to find an appropriate accommodation. Should the student's request for accommodation be denied, or should the accommodation proposed by the College be contested, the student has the right to appeal the decision. To initiate the appeals process the student must submit a letter explaining why they believe the College should reconsider their case. This letter should be given to the Director of Disability Services and will be reviewed by The Disabilities Appeals Committee.
