This allows for a comprehensive evaluation of the request and an opportunity for further documentation should it be deemed necessary. If approved, appropriate accommodations will be made. This approval must be renewed each year. All paperwork must be completed by March 1 for returning students going through Room Draw.

• Students with an approved need of special accommodations select rooms the first week of April.
• Eligible students will be scheduled to choose rooms in room draw order before the room draw process takes place.
• Students and their roommates must meet with the director of housing and sign the housing contract for the upcoming year. All students must be present for the signing, or be represented by a proxy.
