Accessible Housing
蜜桃影像 provides comparable, convenient, and accessible housing to students with disabilities. If you require a reasonable accommodation based on your disability and/or condition, start the process by applying for housing and applying with Disability Services (DS) to confirm your disability status. DS then will assist Residence Life in providing you reasonable accommodations tailored to meet your needs.
Below are some examples of accommodations 蜜桃影像 Residence Life has provided:
- Accessible room: A room on the ground floor with moveable furniture. The door to the room may have an automatic door opener; the room may also have a roll-in shower.
- Accessible toilet/sink: A sink that can accommodate a wheelchair; usually no more than 34鈥 in height with minimum cabinet space underneath for knee clearance.
- Remote control access: A door equipped with a power-operated mechanism and controls that help to open the door automatically or relieve the opening resistance of a door upon receiving a signal.
- Private bathroom: A bathroom that is not shared between roommates.
- Modular bathroom: A bathroom that is shared between two people. This bathroom is enclosed within the living space itself.
- Roll-in shower (no lip): A shower with no barriers; a wheelchair can easily roll in.
- Strobe light fire alarm: A flash lamp that produces high-intensity, short-duration light pulses that is attached to the fire alarm and used to aid individuals with hearing impairments during emergency situations.
- Ground floor/First floor room: A room that does not require the use of stairs; room has access to the main level.
- Visual doorbell: A light above the door that will light up when someone is at the door (typically for students with hearing impairments).
- Room with additional space for medical equipment.
- Substance-free environment.
- Private room: Single room or a double room for a single occupant.
- Service or assistive animal.
This is not an exhaustive list, and we encourage you to Contact Us with specific questions. Approved accommodations provided to students with qualifying disabilities are not subject to surcharges.
Your best bet: COMMUNICATE EARLY! Although modifications can be made to rooms at any time, the best plan is to communicate early with DS and Residence Life about your specific needs. With information from DS and Residence Life and your assistance, we can look for a space that best meets your needs. Housing is limited and not guaranteed. An approved housing accommodation does not guarantee a housing assignment.
