Residence Hall Medical Accommodations

Saint Elizabeth University recognizes that some students who wish to reside in campus housing have significant medical/health problems that may require special housing accommodations. Such issues may include systemic disorders; mental health issues; and/or the use of specialized medical equipment.

In recognizing such student needs, SEU has reserved a limited number of residence hall spaces for medical accommodations. Those rooms will be assigned only upon the specific request of a student having a disability which requires assignment to a single room, as opposed to the typical double room assignment (two students to one room) on a priority basis with consideration given to the severity of the medical needs.

The assignment of medical residence hall rooms will be made by the Director of Accessibility Services in coordination with the Director of Residence Life.

SEU reserves the right to require a second opinion to confirm the diagnosis and/or treatment plan. SEU also reserves the right to determine that a student's health condition and/or behavior is of a severity that precludes the student's ability to remain a resident of SEU.

If a single medical room is assigned to a student based upon medical documentation supplied to Accessibility Services , SEU will waive the single room rate, and the student will be charged at the double occupancy rate. When a student is assigned to a medical single room, SEU expects that the student will be receiving treatment from a licensed physical/mental health professional for the medical condition for which the medical room was granted.
