Housing Information, Deadlines, Accommodations and Forms Housing accommodations are considered when appropriate documentation of a disability has been submitted and after a formal request has been made. Please note that housing accommodations are not continuous. Students will need to request specific accommodations each year. In most cases disability documentation will need to be updated annually depending on the nature of the disability. Please contact disability services office if you have a question about this. ***UPDATE- BEGINNING 2008*** Accommodations for Asthma/Allergies and Concerns for Air Quality For students who have asthma/allergy conditions or those concerned about general air quality, air conditioning that is available in Longwood housing is medically not as useful in mediating conditions as are air purification devices due to the type of filters used in window air conditioning units and the time limited provision of central air in air conditioned residence halls. Therefore, for students with asthma/allergies or those with concerns about general air quality, if you would like to bring a free-standing, vent-free air purification device (at your own expense), please complete the “Air Purification Device Clearance” form and send it to: Dan Dillon You will receive clearance for bringing such a device so long as the unit is free-standing, vent-free, does not exceed 120 volts, and is in compliance with the electrical load for the residence hall/University managed apartment for which you are assigned. More than one device will not be approved for a residence hall room as the capacity of standard devices is more than sufficient for the room size. Housing Accommodations Deadlines Returning students who would like to request a single room for the Fall of 2008 must have all paperwork (medical verification, housing request form, and narrative) completed and sent to Disability Services office by March 19, 2008 by 5:00 p.m. Returning students requesting all other housing accommodations for the Fall of 2008 must have all paperwork (medical verification, housing request form, and narrative) completed and received by March 19, 2008 by 5:00 p.m. All freshmen and transfer students coming to Longwood in the Fall of 2008 must have all paperwork (medical verification, housing request form, and narrative ) completed and returned to the Disability Services office by June 11, 2008 by 5:00 p.m. All accommodation requests that are received by the deadline will be considered. Decisions are made based on the nature of the disability, reasonableness of the request, and availability. Accommodation requests submitted after the posted deadlines will be provided if possible, but cannot be guaranteed. Accommodation process:
