Office of Disability Services
Policy:
Students with a diagnosed disability that may impact residential living may submit a special housing request through the Office of Disability Services. Although Muhlenberg College has a wide range of residential housing, there are a limited number of spaces available for special accommodations, such as single rooms or private bathrooms. Therefore, special housing requests for students with documented disabilities or disorders will be assessed on a case-by-case basis in a collaborative process with the Directors of the following Departments: Office of Disability Services, Office of Residential Services, Counseling Services, and Student Health Services.
Procedure:
Students should complete the Special Housing Request Formavailable through the Office of Disability Services or Residential Services web pages to activate the process. s
Special requests are considered based on those with the most critical medical need, the severity of the condition, and on the availability of spaces. Priority will be given to students with a life-threatening medical condition impacting their ability to perform activities of daily living. The request must be an integral component of a treatment plan prescribed by a medical professional qualified to treat the particular condition. Students with non-medical conditions will only be considered when or if space becomes available. Conditions such as Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorders, or Psychological Disorders generally do not warrant special housing.
