Accessibility accommodation process for Emory housing
Emory says students with disabilities or medical needs can request accessible housing, and accommodations are approved based on documentation reviewed by the Department of Accessibility Services. Housing assignments are made case by case, and students registered with DAS are contacted individually by email about room-selection procedures.
- DAS works with students to create an accessible academic, residential, and dining experience.
- Emory Housing notes that accessible rooms are distributed across campus and may change from year to year.
- Housing does not provide accommodations for learning disabilities.
Special requests and related supports
For religious or spiritual housing accommodations, Emory requires students to complete the accommodation request form and says incoming students should request it at the earliest possible opportunity after admission. Emotional support animals must be approved by DAS.
- Religious or spiritual requests require the form and the student must be an Emory student.
- Emory notes that additional consultation may occur with Counseling and Psychological Services or the Student Health Center.
- The housing page also points to wheelchair-accessible shuttles on campus.
What to do next
Register with DAS if you believe accommodations will be needed for equal access, then follow the housing instructions you receive by email during room selection. If you need help with housing operations or a housing question, Emory lists housing support contact routes on the housing pages.
- Use the DAS registration step before or during the accommodation request process.
- Wait for the individualized email about housing procedures if you are registered with DAS.
