WSU provides equal and accessible housing opportunities for all students. If you have a disability or medical need, we have resources to ensure you have the same housing experience as other students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In compliance with Section 504 of the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, students with documented disabilities may request housing accommodations. <\/p>\n\n\n \n
Students with documented disabilities may request special housing accommodations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The student and their medical provider must fill out the Housing Accommodations Health Care Form<\/a> (PDF) and submit to the Housing & Residence Life Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once we receive your form, a staff member will communicate with the student about any additional information needed and next steps of the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For our staff to best accommodate your needs, we recommend you submit your Housing Accommodation Health Care Form by April 1 for the upcoming school year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Access Services<\/a> is another great resource for students who may need additional support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Requests will be evaluated based on current housing policies, students’ needs, and available facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All our residence halls can accommodate a variety of disabilities and\/or medical needs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We may consider roommate requests, but these will not be given priority for higher demand halls if there are students with an earlier application date.<\/p>\n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n According to the Americans with Disabilities Act, service animals are any dog (or other animal as defined under the ADA) that have been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability. These animals are permitted in the residence halls. However, all housing documentation must be submitted per the approval process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Emotional support animals (ESA) are companion animals that provide therapeutic benefit, such as alleviating or mitigating some symptoms of a disability, to a person with a mental or psychiatric disability. These animals are only permitted in residence halls if approved by Access Services and all housing documentation is completed per the approval process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If a visitor has an ESA, they are not permitted to bring their ESA into the residence halls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No other animals are permitted in on-campus housing. The only exception to this rule is fish kept in an aquarium (max 10 gallon tank). <\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether service animals or ESAs, all animals that live in University-owned or leased property are required to be approved and registered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Learn more in the WSU Animal in Housing Procedure and Agreement<\/a> (PDF).<\/p>\n\n\n\nRoom Assignments & Roommates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
