Housing Accommodations
Residential living is central to the learning environment for all Colorado
College students. Because CC offers a wide variety of residence hall options,
virtually all student needs can be met through the standard room selection
process. However, students with disabilities whose needs cannot be met
through this process may request consideration for housing accommodations.
The Residential Life and Disability Services staff work together to accommodate
students with disabilities in the residence hall setting. We will carefully
consider each request for accommodation to ensure that students with disabilities
have equal access to CC’s housing resources.
Please note that Colorado College has a three-year residency requirement.
Because residential living is considered a significant part of a student’s
total educational experience, students are granted permission to move
off campus early for disability-related reasons only in the extremely
rare occurrence that Colorado College cannot accommodate the student on
campus.
Requests for single rooms based on a student’s desire to have a
“quiet, undisturbed place to study” will be considered only
in unusual circumstances. By virtue of the shared facilities, resources,
and number of people living under one roof in the residence halls, a single
room does not provide for such quiet, distraction-free space to any appreciable
degree beyond living in a standard shared room.
Upon acceptance to Colorado College, students with disabilities with
specific housing needs should contact Disability Services as soon as possible.
Our staff will guide you through the accommodation request process.
Continuing students should follow the Residential Life room selection
process, as well as complete the Disability Services application
process for housing accommodations.
Continuing Students: Applications for housing accommodations
for the 2008-09 academic year are due by March 7, 2008.
Students who do not qualify for disability-related housing accommodations
but feel they have needs that cannot be met through the standard housing
process should contact Residential Life at 719-389-6618 for information
on the special consideration process for on-campus housing.
For assistance or clarification of the housing accommodation process,
please contact Jan Edwards, Director of Disability Services: 719-227-8285;
