Housing Requests and Accommodations

When is the deadline to make a request for a single gender bathroom? 
Students can request a single gender bathroom during the Intent phase up until Intent has closed on February 12th. After intent has closed, students will no longer be able to request a single gender bathroom. Students seeking a single gender bathroom are encouraged to form a group and select a suite in their college that can organically provide the best bathroom accommodation within its architecture. 
 
Am I guaranteed a single gender bathroom if I request one? 
Placements for single gender bathroom requests are dependent on inventory and demand. While every effort will be made to meet all requests, placements are not guaranteed. During Group Formation, students should form a single gender group and be aware that the request may be fulfilled via one of the following routes: organically within their college’s architecture; via a dedicated, assigned bathroom; or, if you end up in annex housing or on the waitlist, via a single gender floor or room placement in that that phase
 
I had previously revoked my single gender bathroom request so I could live with my friends, but am now interested in a single gender bathroom. Can I still request this
Students will no longer be able to request a single gender bathroom after February 12th. Out of fairness to fellow students, the deadline is in place so all students can make appropriate plans during group formation. To help aide in satisfying your request, we encourage students to form a single gender group during group formation and select a suite in their college that can organically provide the best bathroom accommodation within its architecture.  
 
I have an approved ADA accommodation. Can I still proceed through grouping and participate in suite selection? 
If you have an approved housing accommodation, you have the option to either accept or decline this accommodation. Based on what your accommodation is and the inventory available in your residential college, accepting your accommodation may require that you form a group of a specific configuration or may require that you are placed pre-draw. Students will receive notification about what is necessary to guarantee their accommodation in the Housing Portal in mid-February. For additional information, please visit the Special Housing Requests and Accommodations page
 
How do I apply for an accommodation? 
Housing Accommodations are granted solely by the Student Accessibility Services office. The deadline for housing accommodation requests is January 25, 2024. Please refer to Student Accessibility Services website for additional information.
 
I am a rising junior/senior with an approved medical accommodation for next year. Is my housing guaranteed? 
Students participating in the junior/senior draw should note that an SAS accommodation does not guarantee on-campus housing. The option to use an SAS accommodation or not only comes into play if on-campus housing is available and secured.  
 
Students participating in regrouping are encouraged to review the remaining available, undersubscribed suites/sizes and form a group that will meet their accommodation and provide a better chance at remaining on-campus. 
 
I submitted a request for an accommodation after the deadline. Will I still receive my housing accommodation?  
While requests for accommodations will be considered after the deadline, the accommodation cannot be guaranteed to be met if a request was not received by the deadline.
 
I do not have a group. Can I be placed into housing and not participate in room draw? 
If you are planning to live on campus but prefer not to participate in grouping, you can opt out of the remaining stages of room draw by selecting to Opt Out of Grouping. If you select this option you will be assigned to a bedroom by the Housing Office and you will not participate in any further stages of room draw.
 
If I opt out of grouping and request to be manually assigned, when will I know my housing assignment?
Students who select to Opt Out of Grouping will be assigned to available housing after Room Draw is complete.  You will receive email notification of your assignment, along with the names of any suitemates, after room selection has ended in early April.
