Submit an Additional Accommodation Request through Accommodate  to request housing accommodations.

1. Select “Accommodation” on the left side of the student screen 
2. Select “Additional Accommodation Requests”
3. Complete the request information and add new documentation if available 
4. Select “Submit” 

The Office of Student Accessibility Services (SAS) reviews each request, determines reasonable accommodation, and notifies the Office of Residential Life of the decision. If approved, the Office of Residential Life will place a student in a housing assignment based on the approved disability accommodation. Residential Life staff will contact students via email once their housing assignments are finalized.

To help us better understand your request, please provide a detailed description of how your disability impacts your housing experience, along with supporting documentation from your healthcare provider. You and your provider may refer to the Documentation Guidelines for information about the types of documentation that are most helpful during the review process. If we need additional information or clarification, we will contact you during the review process. If you have any questions, please contact SAS-housing@brown.edu.

Once a decision has been made, you will be notified through Accommodate. If your housing accommodation is approved, SAS will share the approved accommodation with the Office of Residential Life. Residential Life is responsible for providing housing assignments based on the approved accommodations and will contact you with your housing assignment.  If Residential Life determines that your approved accommodation cannot be met within the available on-campus housing inventory, you will be contacted to discuss alternative housing options.

Housing assignments and assignment notification dates are managed by the Office of Residential Life. Because notification dates vary throughout the year, please refer to the Office of Residential Life's Housing Timeline for the most current information. Student Accessibility Services is unable to provide housing assignment dates or timelines.

Students must be registered with SAS to request dining accommodations. As SAS staff assists with this process, we can also put you in touch with Dining Services for immediate support.
