ADA Housing and Meal Plan Accommodations
University of Detroit Mercy offers housing and meal plan accommodation options for students with impairments who are in need of alternative housing and meal arrangements. Room accommodations for most students with disabilities can be accommodated through modifications to student rooms and/or staff education that is meant to meet the individual student's needs. All housing accommodation requests are made through Student Accessibility Services.
Residents with disabilities are requested to contact Student Accessibility Services, which is charged with coordinating the needs of students with disabilities among all university departments. Student Accessibility Services will make recommendations to the Office of Residence Life on how to accommodate the needs of each individual student. Housing accommodations do not guarantee a single room, requested building or roommate.
