The Center for Accessibility and Disability Resources will work with the Department of Housing and Residence Life to determine each student's reasonable and necessary accommodations. Consultations with the Office of General Counsel, the Title IX Office, and the Dean of Students Office may also occur. Individuals with a disability who plan on living in University housing and believe they need reasonable accommodations must contact the Center for Accessibility and Disability Resources.

An individual with a disability requesting housing accommodations should complete the steps listed in the above section under Applying for Housing Accommodation Requests or Emotional Support Animals (ESAs).

Denial of Accommodations and Interactive Process

If the Center for Accessibility and Disability Resources determines a requested accommodation is necessary but unreasonable, the individual will be contacted, in writing, within 15 business days of the determination to engage in an interactive process. The interactive process is intended to determine if there are alternative accommodations that might effectively meet the individual鈥檚 disability-related needs and would also be reasonable for the University to grant.

Individuals may appeal the decision by submitting a written appeal to the Center within ten business days. The appeal must state a specific reason for reconsideration of the decision and may only be based on the following:

1. New information that was not available at the time of the initial decision
2. A procedural error that occurred that unfairly impacted the decision
3. There is just cause to reconsider the decision, such as a demonstrated bias against the student.

Once appeal information has been received, the Center for Accessibility and Disability Resources will review and provide final decisions to the individual within ten business days.
