住房要求

Guidelines for 住房要求 Based On Medical, Psychological, or Disability Related Needs

Disability-related housing accommodations provide WWU students access to an inclusive on-campus living experience. 学生 who require these accommodations should make a request for accommodations on 适应 并提交一份完整的 房屋文件表格 (from a medical health care provider) to support their request and specify their disability-related needs. This form can be emailed to dss@indicatihal.net or faxed to (509) 527-2090.

Approval of housing accommodations is assessed on an individual basis, taking into consideration the nature of the disability or health condition and the reasonableness of the request. Disability 支持 Services collaborates with the Office of 住房 Services and Residence Life to provide suitable accommodations that meet the specific needs of each student. 

Once housing accommodations are approved, Disability 支持 Services will work with the Office of 住房 Services and Residential Life to assign a room that reasonably accommodates the student. 然而, it is important to note that specific placement in a particular residence hall or room cannot be guaranteed as part of the accommodation. 

Requests for single rooms are not granted solely based on the need for a quiet study environment. Residence halls are designed as communal living spaces, and students seeking a quiet study area should explore other designated locations on campus.
