Housing Accommodations and Requests for Full-Sized Beds

The Office of Residential Life is committed to supporting all residential students and recognizes that some students have residential needs that can best be met prior to the standard housing selection process. Our office works closely with Accessibility Services in providing these accommodations and Davison Health Center for full-size bed requests.

Students experiencing a temporary impairment can visit Accessibility Services' webpage for more information.

Process for Requesting a Housing Accommodation

Students requesting a disability-related housing accommodation should contact Accessibility Services and submit all necessary documentation by the established deadlines below. For more information please visit Accessibility Services' Housing Accommodation Page or their Contact Page.  A student can request an accommodation at any time during the academic year, however Wesleyan University cannot guarantee that it will be able to meet late applicants' accommodation needs.

All necessary documentation needs to be submitted to Accessibility Services by the following deadlines:

• Incoming first-year, transfer students and graduate students:
  
  • June 30th
• Returning undergraduate and graduate students:
  
  • March 15th for the fall semester
  • November 1st for the spring semester
  • April 15th for the summer term

Please note that housing accommodations are only for the student requesting the accommodation, and may not include current or potential roommates. Residential Life will evaluate the recommendation and spaces available to determine the appropriate accommodation in consultation with the Housing Accommodation Review Committee. While a student may feel strongly they should be placed in a specific residence, assignments are based on space availability and the needs identified in the disability documentation received. A student does have the right to decline an offered assignment, however Residential Life may not be able to offer another accommodation.

Requests for Full-Sized Beds

All requests for full-size bed accommodations must be submitted by the corresponding deadline to Davison Health Center.  All requests must include the completed medical provider form.

• Requests from continuing students for the following academic year need to be completed and submitted by March 15 of the current academic year. 
• Requests from students returning from study abroad or from a leave for the spring semester need to be completed and submitted by November 1st. 
• For incoming new students to the university requests must be completed and submitted by June 30th.

While requests may be accepted past the above stated deadline, the university may not be able to meet the accommodation request.

Note: Please be aware that not all rooms on campus can accommodate a full-sized bed. Dimensions are the following: 54W x 76L.  Dimensions for the twin XL beds are 36W x 80L.
