How do I request special housing accommodations if I have a disability?

Housing Accommodation Request Form

The learning environment and residential living are central to the Greensboro College experience, particularly for freshman and sophomores who are required to live in our residence halls. It should be noted that living within the community, learning to share space and be considerate of others is part of the complete college experience. In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Greensboro College is committed to providing appropriate housing accommodations for all students. We evaluate all requests for exceptions carefully and we require all special housing requests based on disability to include the following:

• Appropriate documentation of the condition or need that is the basis of the request.
• A clear description of the desired housing configuration. 
• An explanation of how the request relates to the impact of the condition. 
• An indication of the level of need for the recommended configuration and the consequences of not receiving the desired configuration. 
• Possible alternatives if the recommended configuration is not possible. 

To evaluate requests based on medical, psychological or other disability related conditions accurately and equitably, Greensboro College will need documentation. Documentation consists of an evaluation by the appropriate professional that relates to the current impact of the condition to the request.

Housing Accommodation Request Forms should be returned directly to Disability Services with documentation that supports the specific request.
