Special Accommodations, Disability or Access Needs

Housing for disabled students is available in various buildings depending upon required special needs of the individual student. Space for mobility-impaired individuals is limited to Pantzer, Miller, Aber and Jesse Halls and University Villages. The following information is needed in order for our staff to select the best building/room combination and have that room ready upon the individual's arrival:

• Describe the disability
• Is a wheel chair used (electric or manual)?
• Physical floor space needs within room
• Is a special medical bed required? If so, what are the measurements?
• Is a lift or any other equipment needed in room?
• Special need for bathtub or shower
• Ability to open doors
• Ability to operate elevators
• Special access needs for care givers
• Is a service animal used?
• Any special privacy needs which would preclude use of a communal bathroom
• Need for special door bell or signaling devices
