Important Updates for Fall 2025

  • Students sending accommodation letters for the first time must first complete the SAS Workshop Training Confirmation.
  • SAS is currently receiving a high volume of requests as the academic year begins. Please allow for a longer response time than usual for phone calls and emails.
  • University Housing may not be able to process eligible disability-related housing requests from SAS from mid-August through mid-September. Please keep in mind that the deadline for incoming students to request housing accommodations for Fall 2025 was 6/1/25 to ensure timely implementation and room availability ; the deadline for returning students was 2/25/25.
  • Students requesting appointments and/or documentation review at the beginning of the Fall semester should be prepared for a wait of up to 14 business days as we experience peak volume through mid-September.
