Housing Accommodations - students first contact DOSS to receive the necessary clearance for special ADA related housing. Any requests for special housing accommodations must be made to DOSS by May 1 for fall semester, and by December 15 for spring semester.

Each semester students are required to re-enroll for services, and the DOSS staff will evaluate continued services according to each student’s needs.

(Note: The services of note-taking, tutoring, and taped textbooks may take 2-3 weeks to coordinate. Your promptness in communicating with our office is critical.)
