Housing Accommodations
Wingate University wants all students, those with and without disabilities, to participate in the residential living, and learning experience. It’s a huge part of being a bulldog. Housing Accommodations are modifications or adjustments made to living spaces to ensure accessibility, safety, and comfort for individuals with disabilities.
*Once Housing assignments are made, requests are subject to availability. There is a limited number of single rooms available.
Single Rooms For Disability Access Vs. Single Rooms as a Preference
- Any student may request a single room as a preference during the scheduled housing selection process.
- A single room is a disability accommodation only when clinical history and professional documentation clearly demonstrate a history of substantial limitations and provide a rationale that supports the student’s need for a separate living/sleeping space to able to access and utilize housing. Example, a student needs extra space to access/utilize specialized medical equipment.
Some reasons for single room accommodations may not be determined necessary and reasonable disability accommodation required for access.
- What if I need to be alone or have a single room to decompress?
- What if my diagnosis means I need a quiet space to study?
- What if I have medications I fear might be stolen?
