Housing & Dining

If you require special housing conditions (such as air-conditioning), you will need to provide medical documentation from a physician stating the specific housing need via the Housing Accommodation Verification Form. If you are requesting a special meal plan or housing consideration for a religious, cultural identity, and/or gender identity/sexual orientation need, please complete Form C: Identity-based Housing Request.

Forms should only be submitted if there is a documented medical need and special housing is absolutely required. Please return your completed form to the Office of Residential Life by May 31.
