Requesting Housing Accomodations!

by

The deadline for housing accommodation requests is next week. I have sent two emails to students, but could we also have this published on your class blogs? Thank you!:

Students requesting a specific housing accommodation due to a disability for 2015/16 must complete a Housing Accommodation Request Form and submit it to Dean Patey, Disability Resources, (North College – Room 021), no later than Thursday, February 12, 2015. This includes students who have previously requested and been approved for a housing accommodation in the past.
Housing assignments which are provided as an accommodation are only provided to students with documented disabilities. Please note that housing accommodations do not include current or potential roommates. Housing offers may not necessarily be considered class appropriate, or represent your first choice in housing, but will address your needs.
If you have any questions about the process, please contact Dean Patey at lpatey@wesleyan.edu or 860.685.2332.
