[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What accommodations did you ask for?[/quote] Related to housing. No, not an emotional support animal or any animal at all. This situation arose with a sudden event -- think a serious fall with multiple broken ones, or a stroke -- and the ensuing physical AND mental recovery. ie, a significant % of people who have a stroke will also develop depression. Anyway, we asked for a housing-related accommodation and they said 'nope.' Just ignored supporting documents from multiple doctors.[/quote] I don’t think colleges are required to provide housing. 504 pertains to education, so I don’t think that will apply. Maybe look into local laws around rental agreements. [/quote] Colleges aren't required to provide housing at all (there are commuter schools) but if they do provide housing at all, they have to provide reasonable accommodations to make housing accessible for students with disabilities. Providing a single room is a common accommodation for students whose medical needs require it.[/quote]
