CSUMB HOUSING GUIDE

CSUMB: Accessibility

Lori Hill, Broker Associate
The short answer

Connect with SDAC, complete/renew the accommodation request, apply for housing and respond to the housing-accommodation questions in MyHousing.

How does my student request disability-related housing accommodations?

CSUMB describes a collaborative placement process between SDAC and Student Housing and Residential Life. Students should request early because placement matching an approved accommodation remains subject to available space.

If an accommodation is approved, does that guarantee a particular dorm or room?

CSUMB explicitly says accommodation requests are subject to availability. SDAC and Housing work together to identify a placement consistent with the approved need, but the process does not guarantee a particular room.

Can my student have a service animal or emotional-support animal in campus housing?

CSUMB directs ESA requests through its pet/application and SDAC-related housing process. Ordinary pet restrictions do not replace the separate rules for approved service or emotional-support animals.

What if my student has a severe food allergy or special dietary need?

CSUMB's housing-and-dining management page specifically directs students with dietary restrictions or medical concerns to Dining Services. Students should begin the process early and provide any documentation requested for a formal accommodation.
