How Housing and Dietary Accommodations Work at OU
Housing Accommodations
If you may need a housing accommodation, fill out our Application for Accommodations to self-identify as a student with a disability and submit documentation to the Accessibility and Disability Resource Center. Information regarding the documentation can be found in our Documentation Guidelines. The ADRC requires that the information includes how the disability impacts the student's ability to live on campus.
Please note: A medical or psychological diagnosis alone does not guarantee housing accommodations. Recommendations from healthcare providers are considered but do not determine eligibility.
Once students with documented disabilities are registered with the ADRC the disabiltiy professional they met with will send an accommodation notice to Housing and Food Services.
Priority deadlines are as follows:
Entering the Fall semester: May 1
Entering the Spring semester: November 1

Once students with documented disabilities are registered with the ADRC the disability professional they met with will send an accommodation notice to Housing and Food Services and connect the student with the on-campus dietitian.
The dietitian will work directly with the student and Housing and Food Services to determine any additional accommodations that must be made specifically to their dietary needs.
