Housing Accommodations FAQs

Can I request a single room for the purpose of studying in a quiet space?

Residence halls are considered shared living spaces. Students have access to a variety of quiet study spaces on campus including the library, classrooms, labs, and more. Rooms may also be reserved at the library. For this reason, a housing accommodation request for a single room for the purpose of having a quiet study space may not be approved.
What types of housing accommodations are available?
The types of housing accommodations provided depend upon the individual student’s disability and needs. Students may request reasonable accommodations within the context of current housing policies. Common housing accommodations may include (but are not limited to):
- Single room (private bedroom)
- Physically accessible housing (first floor, elevator access, ADA accessible room, ADA accessible residence hall, close to main campus/academic buildings)
- Air conditioning
- Access to a single-use bathroom (note that access to private bathrooms on campus is extremely rare due to a highly limited number available)
- Access to a kitchen
I have an assistance animal. Does that mean I will be placed in a single room?

No, students who have assistance animals (emotional support animal or service animal) will not automatically be placed in a single room. They may apply for housing accommodations using the process outlined above.
Can Champlain College’s Counseling Center or Student Health Center complete the Housing Accommodations Documentation Request Form on my behalf?

Students should speak directly to their Champlain College counselor or Student Health staff member to determine if it would be appropriate for that office to provide documentation.
I have some general questions about housing at Champlain. Who should I contact?
