Link to this FAQAll accommodation requests require information from the student's provider. Supporting documentation must be current, comprehensive, professional documentation that includes a diagnosis of the limiting disability.

Link to this FAQThe Office of Accessibility maintains deadlines for students to apply for housing accommodations so that students can be placed in appropriate housing in a timely manner. Housing accommodation requests can be made at any time, however if they are submitted after the deadlines listed above, the student may be placed on a waitlist depending upon the type of request and room availability.
Link to this FAQThe types of housing accommodations provided depend upon the individual student's disability and needs. Students may request reasonable accommodations within the context of current housing policies. Common housing accommodations may include (but are not limited to):
Residence Halls are considered shared living spaces. Students have access to a variety of quiet study spaces on campus including the Library, classrooms, labs, and more. Rooms may also be reserved at the Library. For this reason, a housing accommodation request for a single room for the purpose of having a quiet study space may not be approved.
Link to this FAQNo, students who have assistance animals (emotional support animal or service animal) will not automatically be placed in a single room. They may apply for housing accommodations using the process outlined on this page.
Link to this FAQStudents should speak directly to their Champlain College Counselor or Student Health staff member to determine if it would be appropriate for that office to provide documentation.
