of Graduate Studies Housing
The housing application inquires as to whether the applicant has "special needs". If the answer is affirmative, the student is identified in the Housing Module (computerized system) as having a disability. Based upon this information, a decision is made regarding which residence hall and room to assign the student. Specific rooms in the majority of residence halls have been earmarked for special needs students. All residential students are asked to report special health needs (e.g. medication, illnesses, etc.) during the check-in process on a "Special Health Needs" form. Marketing
