Housing and Dietary Accommodations

All entering and continuing students must follow the housing application process and timeline as published by Housing and Residential Education. Students must be confirmed for on-campus housing before requesting a housing accommodation.

Housing accommodations should be requested each academic year. A separate request is needed for summer semester housing.

How do I request my housing or dietary accommodations?

All your accommodations can be requested through My Accessibility Portal (MAP; login required).
