Housing Needs Due to a Disability

If a student needs a housing accommodation due to a disability, such as a specific room type, medication refrigeration, or a specific assignment location, they must first contact the Disability Resource Center (DRC).

• For general housing accommodations, visit How to Request DRC Services.
• For two-year housing exemption requests, visit Two-Year Housing Exemption Request.

Once the DRC has received a student's request for services, an access specialist will reach out to the student to review the request and any disability documentation that supports the need. DRC staff will then update University Housing staff about accommodations that have been approved.

For more information, students are encouraged to contact the DRC front desk to schedule an "Informational Appointment" (805-756-1395, drc@calpoly.edu).
