Housing & Disability Accomodations

Students may require housing arrangements due to disability accommodations. There are two possible avenues for ensuring your housing needs are met.

(Both processes require the submission of forms through the AUP Status Page. These forms are available to students who have completed payment of the confirmation deposit 鈥 the checklist may take 24 to 48hours to update following payment of the deposit).

HOUSING MEDICAL EXEMPTION

If none of the available housing options within our AUP Housing roster fits your disability or medical needs, you can submit a medical exemption. To do so through your AUP Status Page:

  • Select听exemption听on the Housing Selection: AUP Housing/Exemption/Opt Out form of your听AUP Status Page. You will then be given access to a听Housing Exemption Form.
  • Complete the Housing Exemption Form on your听AUP Status Page听鈥 be sure to select 鈥渕edical exemption鈥 as the reason for your exemption request.

You will be asked to provide documentation to support your medical exemption request.听The document must include all components to be accepted:

  • Must be issued by a Qualified Licensed Professional听(must include licensing number, signature, and contact information)
  • Must be current: less than 5 years old (documentation must be clearly dated)
    • However, this documentation does not need to come from your original diagnosing doctor. This documentation can be issued by any qualified and licensed medical professional.
  • Digital copies must be in PDF format.
  • Must clearly specify diagnosis(es), impact in an education setting, and recommendations.

To learn more about documentation requirements, please visit our听Accessibility and Accommodationspage.

Students who are approved for a medical exemption can receive housing assistance via the housing database.

ACCOMMODATIONS FOR HOUSING PLACEMENT

The process for requesting disability accommodations for priority housing placement at AUP is managed by the Accommodations Coordinator in the Academic Resource Center (ARC) in collaboration with the Housing office.听

Students with disabilities may be eligible for accommodations in the university鈥檚 housing. Students can request housing accommodations and provide supporting documentation through the听AUP Status Page听by completing the following steps: 听

  • Complete the Disability Accommodations form (under the Visa and Health tab) of their AUP Status Page.
    • Students must complete this form by May 4, 2025 for the documentation to be reviewed in time for the first round of housing assignments. Students may still submit the form after that date, however the university鈥檚 ability to fulfill requests will be more limited at that time.
  • Complete the Housing Selection (AUP Housing/Exemption/Opt Out) form, indicating they wish to book AUP Housing.
  • Comple the Indicate Housing Preferences form once it is open, ranking the available options that could suit their needs.

Once your request for housing accommodations has been reviewed, if approved, a review will be conducted with ARC and Housing to determine if those needs can be met within AUP鈥檚 university housing. If it is determined that the needs cannot be accommodated, students will receive a medical exemption from the housing requirement and assistance in seeking housing that best suits their needs outside of the AUP Housing offer.

To be eligible, students must meet the posted deadlines and follow all policies related to the housing selection process. To learn more about documentation requirements, please visit ourAccessibility and Accommodations听page.

Priority housing for accommodation is issued on a first-come-first- serve basis. The deadline for request priority is May 4, 2025. While late requests for accommodations may be submitted, such requests will be handled on a case-by-case basis, and it is less likely that the university will be able to grant them as there will be limited availability following the first round of housing assignments.

HOUSING & DISABILITY ACCOMMODATIONS FAQ

Should I still submit housing preferences if I have submitted documentation for disability accommodations?

Yes, you still need to submit housing preferences along with your disability accommodations form. Our housing office will take your preferences into account in the final assignment; we will prioritize, however, the guidelines and guidance provided by the Academic Resource Center to ensure that your housing assignment meets the needed accommodations outlined in your request.

What if none of the available housing meets my accommodation needs?

If none of the available housing meets your accommodation needs, you will be automatically approved for a medical exemption allowing you to seek housing outside of the AUP Housing offer. Students who receive a medical exemption can also secure housing with assistance from the housing office through the AUP Housing Database typically reserved to returning and graduate students.

If the housing option within the AUP Housing offer that best suits your accommodation needs is no longer available because it has been fully assigned to other incoming students, you may request to be placed on a waitlist for that housing option; you will be offered that housing reservation in priority should any spots open following cancellations.

Can I submit a request for housing accommodations during the semester?

Students can request housing accommodations during the semester if they wish to switch to an AUP Housing option that better suits their needs; students should contact the Accommodations Coordinator in the Academic Resource Center (ARC) to start that process. Please note, however, that the housing office cannot guarantee an immediate housing switch should the housing option be full during the semester. In that case, students will be placed on a waitlist; you will be offered a priority switch to that option should any spots open during the semester. Should the housing option not become available during the semester, you will be given priority in the reassignment process to that housing option for the subsequent semester should spots open following Fall move-outs (for full-year students enrolled for both the Fall and Spring semesters).
