Specialized Housing

FAQ's

I am not sure which form to fill out for my housing request. Is my concern considered a "disability" or a "health need"?

• Did you have a 504 Plan or an IEP related to this condition in high school?
  • If yes, then complete the Disability Based Housing Request (pdf)
  • If no, see next question.
• Will you need accommodations of this condition in other settings besides your housing assignment? (e.g. class room)
  • If yes, then complete the Disability Based Housing Request (pdf)
  • If no, then complete the Health Needs Request Form (pdf)
• All other requests complete the Health Needs Request Form (pdf)

How will I know if my request has been approved?

You will be notified of the outcome of your request via Longwood e-mail within 10 days following the submission deadline.

If I miss the deadline, can I still submit the request form?

No. Requests are processed immediately following the due date in order to assist in priority housing assignments.

If I am granted my specialized housing request this year, does it guarantee that my request will be granted again next year?

No. You must submit a request each year prior to the housing assignment. All approved appeals are granted on a limited space basis.

Deadlines

Because housing accommodations are contingent on availability, requests made after the deadlines are not guaranteed.
