Deadlines are established each semester to allow application review and making disability accommodation considerations prior to the general housing selection process. The application deadlines are in the chart below.
Students are advised to start the process early to allow adequate time to obtain the needed documentation by the stated due date. Obtaining documentation from a health care provider often requires advance notice and could take several days or weeks for your provider to prepare. Incomplete application materials will delay the eligibility determination and could result in a denial of the accommodation request. St. Olaf College will accept requests for reasonable accommodations in housing at any time, but such requests will be reviewed and considered according to the following due dates. The accommodation requests of students who miss the deadline or submit incomplete information may not be able to be met for the semester requested.
If the need for the accommodation arises when an individual is already residing in housing, they should reach out to DAC and submit the request form and relevant medical information as soon as possible.
St. Olaf College will promptly review all requests, though cannot guarantee that it will be able to meet the accommodation needs when submitted past the dates listed. The same applies for if a request is made pertaining to the current semester.
