Housing Accommodations Request Form

Principia College is a welcoming and inclusive community  that requires all students to reside  on the College campus.  Students with documented disabilities, conditions, or other needs that impact their housing experience are invited to  request housing accommodations. Principia College will provide reasonable accommodations to students with documented disabilities or medical conditions guided by relevant  law. Housing accommodations that are considered reasonable are those that do not fundamentally alter the nature of the institution’s policies or that do not place an undue hardship on the Institution, its facilities, or the student/staff population. Accommodations may include, but are not limited to accessible housing rooms, priority or adjusted room or roommate assignments, room or parking modifications, dietary accommodations, and service or emotional support animal accommodations.

The College will make reasonable efforts to fulfill accommodation requests based on a student’s documented need; however, the availability of specific accommodations may be subject to housing stock, facility or structural restrictions, impact on community members, and other relevant considerations. All reasonable accommodations will be reevaluated and adjusted as necessary at least on a yearly basis. 

To request a housing accommodation (other than a Service Animal accommodation), please fill out the information below and email it along with any attached documentation to the Accessibility Facilitator: [email protected]

*NOTE: For a Service Animal Accommodation request, only the designated section at the bottom of this form should be completed.
