Request for Services & Doc Review Form (Word)

   

In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the University of Northern Iowa will provide special accommodations (i.e., air conditioners, single room) in select residence hall rooms of students with documented disabilities. In order to access accommodations, individuals must present documentation indicating that the condition substantially limits some major life activity.

 

Typically, allergy conditions are not considered disabling, however all accommodations are determined on a case-by-case basis.

Students wishing to request a special accommodation in the residence halls should complete the Request for Services and Documentation Review form as fully as possible.

 

Students should submit the completed form, along with the Evaluator Form (to be completed by a health care professional), to:
