Housing Accommodations

  • On campus (Ohio State) housing: If you are requesting a modification to your housing arrangements as an accommodation for a disability, please register with Student Life Disability Services (SLDS) by completing the registration process.
  • Please include supporting documentation when completing the registration application for SLDS. Housing forms can be found on our website.
  • Students with disability-related residence accommodation requests are encouraged to work with SLDS. These accommodation requests are assessed on a case-by-case basis and are limited by room and space availability.

The priority deadlines for SLDS-supported accommodations to be factored into the upcoming academic year’s housing assignment are:

  •  Last Friday of January (January 31, 2026) for RETURNING students
  • First Monday of April (April 7, 2026) for NEW students

Students may continue to submit requests after the priority deadlines, but accommodations supported after the deadline would be implemented based on available inventory at the time of approval. Please note that SLDS will focus on your disability-related accommodation needs and Housing and Residence Education will consider your preferences secondarily, based on room and space availability.
