Disability Accommodation Request

UND Housing & Residence Life provides reasonable accommodations to residents with disabilities who have a verifiable need for the accommodation.

The purpose of an accommodation is to either lesson or eliminate the adverse affects of the disability. A reasonable accommodation does not put an undue burden on either party.

  • UND Housing & Residence Life may or may not provide adjustments to housing policies due to a medical condition that does not rise to the level of disability, but does cause daily discomfort.
  • Verification of the need for the accommodation or adjustment due to medical condition requires clinical support provided by an appropriate professional.
  • Residential buildings may have different accessibility features. Please contact the Housing & Residence Life Office if you have any questions.

Federal legislation acknowledges that post-secondary institutions may request a reasonable level of documentation to support specific accommodation requests without requiring extensive evidence from medical/psychological professionals. The goal of documentation is to support a student’s request for specific accommodation(s) in cases where other attempts to find evidence of disability fail to show a connection between disability and the accommodation.

Eligibility for Disability Accommodations

  • A physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities such as, learning, seeing, hearing, speaking, walking, or breathing. The presence of a disability alone does not necessarily qualify an individual for accommodations.
  • Experience functional limitation(s) caused by a disability that significantly limits or prevents access to university programs, services, or facilities.

Criteria for Accommodations

  • The determination process is done on a case-by-case basis and is accomplished through an interactive process with the student through discussion(s) and review of the disability documentation.
  • There must be a logical link between the functional limitations of the student's disability and the specific accommodation.

Request Disability Accommodation

To complete your request for disability accommodation contact Student Disability Resources.

Additional Assistance

Students with disabilities can register with Student Disability Resources and reach out to their office for assistance through the process. This includes academic accommodations.
