Students with disabilities

We have a proud tradition of granting reasonable accommodations to our rules, policies, practices, or services when such accommodations are necessary to afford people with disabilities an equal opportunity to use and enjoy their dwellings.  A reasonable accommodation may include a change or exception to a rule or policy that is needed because of a person's disability, or it may be a physical change to a unit or common area. Our policy is to provide reasonable accommodations to individuals with disabilities whenever an individual has a disability and there is a disability related need for an accommodation. A disability-related need for accommodation exists when there is an identifiable relationship between the requested accommodation and the individual's disability.
