Housing Accommodation Request Timelines

Housing Accommodation Request – Application Processes

Please keep the following in mind:

  • All requests will be reviewed by the appropriate university officials on the Housing Accommodations Committee and a recommendation will be given to Residence Life.
  • Diagnosis of a medical condition does not, in and of itself, automatically qualify you for a housing accommodation.
  • Requests will be accommodated based on the level of need and space availability.
  • Recommendations or statements made by your physician should not be interpreted as automatic approval for specific housing. The university has many different types of housing that match your needs.
  • A medical need will take priority over requests for specific residence halls or roommates.
  • Requests turned in after the posted deadline will be subject to space availability.
  • Housing accommodations are provided for the individual student, not the student and their group. You must decide what the most important factor in your housing needs for next year is.
  • If you have questions about your request or approved accommodation, please contact Disabilities Resources at disabilities@elon.edu or (336) 278-6568.  If you have questions about placement or location, please contact Residence Life at residencelife@elon.edu or (336) 278-7300.
