Methodist University is committed to providing individuals with disabilities an equal opportunity to use and enjoy university housing. Individuals needing Housing accommodations will work with both Student Access & Accommodation Services (SAAS) and Housing & Residence Life. SAS’s role is to verify documentation of the need for housing accommodations and to send verification to Housing & Residence Life, who handles the remainder of the process.

How to Register for Housing Accommodations

The first step to register with MU’s Student Access & Accommodation Services is to complete the online Student Information Form.

The second step is to submit documentation of the disability. Documentation can be submitted to our office via email to [email protected]. We can accept a dated letter from a professional, a copy of evaluation, or a copy of the 504/IEP (if you had one) that must state the diagnosis. 

The following information is required on your documentation:

  • Name and date of birth.
  • A diagnostic statement identifying the disability or condition.
  • The licensed professional’s signature.

The third step is to send an email with your specific housing request to SAAS at [email protected].

  • In this email, you must identify the type of accommodations you will need (i.e., shaker bed, first floor room, ADA room, private bed/bathroom, special height desk/bed, etc.).

Once we have received your application, documentation, and specific housing needs, we will notify Housing & Residence Life of your accommodation. They will then place you wherever there is availability on campus that meets those needs.
