Conditions that may qualify for accommodations include: disabilities, chronic medical conditions, or psychological conditions that inhibit a student's ability to live in certain residence halls. Documentation must be submitted for a student if living in any of our housing facilities would cause challenges for the student due to their condition.

Housing works with students who meet the following criteria:

• The student has documented disability, chronic medical condition, or psychological condition.
• A licensed medical or psychological professional must verify the student's condition. (The professional may not be a family friend or relative of the student.) 

Process

Student should download and provide Verification of Medical/Physical Condition information sheet to their physician.

Physician or student should mail documentation specified in Verification of Medical/Physical Condition information sheet to the attention of:  Director of Housing, UNA Box 5037, Florence, AL 35632-0001.

Documentation will be reviewed by Director of Housing within 2-3 weeks of receipt, and the Director will be in contact.

• All information will be reviewed by staff from the University of North Alabama Health Services. Staff from Disability Support Services may be consulted.
• Documentation will be kept confidential and shared with other university staff on a need-to-know basis only.

Timeline - Receipt of documentation within a reasonable time frame of hall opening should be strictly adhered to. These time frames are:

• Summer Term I – April 1
• Summer Term II – May 1
• Fall – May 1
• Spring – November 15

Failure to meet the time frames noted above significantly decreases our chances of being able to provide accommodation.
