PLEASE NOTE: If you require a disability-related housing accommodation, please submit a request to SDS by the following deadlines: Fall - June 1st, Spring - November 1st, Summer - April 1st. If you submit a request after the deadline, SDS and CIW can still work with you to try to identify an appropriate housing option, however availability will be more limited. We can put you on a waiting list to be reassigned to a room that meets your needs, but cannot guarantee one will become available.
