Collaboration between Residence Life and Disability Services has resulted in a new policy, effective this academic year. 

Any current resident student requesting housing accommodations (for example, a single room, accessibility features or modifications, or location on a specific floor) for academic year 2013 – 2014 is required to complete an application as part of the room selection process.  Housing accommodations are individually determined and based on the functional limitation(s) that are identified by a student and confirmed by a physician or otherwise qualified professional.

If you would like to request housing accommodations:

STEP 1: Complete the Student Request Form  here OR print it out

STEP 2: Your healthcare provider (primary care physician, medical specialist, or therapist) must complete a form (Disability Verification Form), according to the type of disability.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Fran Manocchio, Director, Disability Services Office at 508/929-8733 or fmanocchio@worcester.edu.
