Living on‐campus during COVID‐19: Prepare to handle requests for accommodations

Abstract

As vaccination rates go up and higher education institutions return to on‐campus learning this fall, institutions may already be receiving students’ accommodations requests to waive or adjust requirements for living in on‐campus housing. With return to on‐campus learning this fall, these requirements are now back in force. Colleges and universities promote living on campus for a number of reasons, including the increased tendency for resident students to perform better academically, seamlessly integrate into campus activities and student organizations, and receive peer support.
