Requesting Medical Accommodations
Form to request accommodation for disability and serious medical condition.
Student Disability Services and Housing Services work closely together to review requests and identify appropriate and available housing. Utilizing the information provided on the Request for Housing Accommodation form, a determination will be made on whether and the extent to which accommodation can be provided. Diagnosis alone does not automatically qualify a student for the specific type of accommodations requested on the housing application
Freshmen, Transfer, and New Graduate/Professional Students :
Students should indicate that they have medical need that may impact their room assignment on their housing application. The Request for Housing Accommodation form must also be completed by the student and health care provider. This form must be submitted in close timing with the housing application (typically 5-7 days.) Your housing application will not be processed without review of the medical information provided on the Request for Housing Accommodation form.
Returning Students:
If a Request for Housing Accommodation form is already on file, the student should contact Student Disability Services prior to the start of the room selection process for the next year. You may be asked to provide updated comprehensive information if needed. If a Request for Housing Accommodation form is not on file, this must be submitted by the date specified in the room selection information available at www.upenn.edu/housing and prior to the beginning of the room selection process. A delay in submission of documentation may impact the ability to accommodate the need.
