Ithaca College Housing Modification Requests Due to Disability

 Information Sheet

If you are requesting a housing accommodation, please be aware that you must follow the procedure below.  In order to be considered for an accommodation your condition must be considered a disability under New York State and Federal Law.

In order to request any accommodations you must:

1. Register with the Office of Academic Support Services for Students with Disabilities by submitting the Disability Identification Form along with documentation  supporting the request to the Office of Academic Support Services, 322A Smiddy Hall, Ithaca College, Ithaca, NY 14850 or fax the documentation to the office at 607-274-3957 where it will be kept in a confidential file.  Do not submit the documentation directly to Residential Life.

      The documentation must include a diagnosis and must indicate why this particular condition       requires the accommodation you are requesting.

    2.  Fill out the Request for Special Housing Accommodation Form.   The form may be accessed online          either at:

          http://www.ithaca.edu/reslife/  or http://www.ithaca.edu/acssd/docs/Special_Request/

3.     Complete the form and send it to Academic Support Services at the address listed above.

Please be aware that this process may take up to four (4) weeks so make your request as early as possible.  Someone from Residential Life will then contact you regarding your housing assignment.  Every attempt will be made to accommodate your particular needs.
