Accessibility and Accommodations
We consider residential living to be an essential part of the student learning experience. Consequently, the staff of the Student Accessibility Center will evaluate accommodation requests necessary for you to access and enjoy the on-campus residential experience.
Ashland University will accept and consider requests for reasonable accommodation in university housing at any time. If the request for accommodation is made after the deadlines listed below, Ashland University cannot guarantee that it will be able to meet the individual’s accommodation needs during the first semester or term of occupancy. To ensure the best opportunity for priority consideration, students must submit the application and all requested documentation by the deadlines indicated below:
- New students and transfer students: Submit your Housing Accommodations Request Form at least 30 days before the start of the Fall or Spring semester, depending on when you plan to begin.
- Returning students: If you are interested in a housing accommodation or currently have an accommodation and want to maintain that accommodation next year, you must go through the renewal process. Submit your Housing Accommodations Request Form by January 31 to apply for housing accommodations for the following academic year. Accommodations need to be renewed every year; they do not roll over from year to year.

So, to live harmoniously with your roommate, review and keep in mind the following tips.
