Special Housing Accommodations
The University has a limited number of single rooms, none of which are specifically designated as medical singles.  Housing accommodations are determined on a case-by-case basis by the Director of Housing & Residence Life, the Dean of Students, the Director of Health & Counseling Services, and the Counseling Coordinator. Additionally, the Director of Physical Plant Operations may be consulted regarding the feasibility of a requested accommodation.

Accommodations are approved only in response to appropriate documentation of the medical condition and/or physical/psychological disabilities.  Reasonable accommodations will be made to meet the documented need on a space-available basis.  Specific location requests cannot be guaranteed.  Medical singles are limited to designated single rooms. 

Students requesting a medical single MUST complete the Housing Accommodation Request Form and must have their health care provider fill out the Health Care Provider Form.  Both forms can be obtained from the Director of Housing & Residence Life.  The student may be asked to execute a medical release form provided by Health and Counseling Services; if the student is under the age of 18, the parent or legal guardian would be asked to execute the medical release form.
