All University students who wish to reside in University residences are required to follow the housing selection process administered by BU Housing.\u00a0 More information about housing is available at the Housing Website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Students are urged to submit requests for housing accommodations to DAS <\/span>at least 60 days<\/span> prior to the first day of housing selection in order to provide adequate time to complete the housing accommodation process.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Housing Accommodations Overview<\/h4>\n

Students with a documented qualifying disability (or disabilities), including temporary injuries, that impact their residential environment must, in addition to following the housing selection process administered by BU Housing, register and complete the DAS housing accommodation request process.\u00a0 These disability-related accommodations might include single rooms, kitchen access, architectural modifications, assistance animals (service dog or emotional support animals), personal care attendants, and\/or dining modifications.<\/p>\n

Please note that Boston University is not an allergen-free campus and is unable to restrict the behavior of others in academic or residential settings as an accommodation for allergies.<\/p>\n

Please also note that residential buildings and housing units with air-conditioning do not guarantee low allergens, better air quality, or consistent air temperatures.<\/p>\n

Generally, the housing accommodation process entails registering with DAS, meeting with a DAS staff member, and submitting to DAS appropriate documentation to support the request.\u00a0 If DAS approves the student\u2019s requested accommodation, DAS will recommend that BU Housing locate a residential space that will meet the student\u2019s needs.\u00a0 Students are urged to submit requests for housing accommodations to DAS at least 60 days prior to the first day of housing selection in order to provide adequate time to complete the housing accommodation process.<\/strong> If the University determines that BU Housing cannot meet student\u2019s need for approved accommodation(s), DAS, in consultation with Housing, may consider releasing the student from the housing contract.<\/p>\n
