Housing Accommodations

Kenyon believes that a major feature of attending a residential college is the opportunity for all students to live in a community with their peers. As such, all students enrolled at Kenyon are required to live in College-owned housing and enroll in the meal plan. Given the logistical challenges related to preparing housing assignments for the entire student body, Kenyon requires students with disabilities who require a reasonable housing accommodation to affirmatively request a housing accommodation by the established deadlines.

The Office of Student Accessibility and Support Services (SASS) works closely with the Office of Residential Life to provide students with reasonable housing accommodations. Reasonable housing accommodations currently available include, but are not limited to:

• Single or double room with the following features: first-floor accessible room with accessible semi-private restroom en suite
• First-floor accessible room with proximity to accessible restroom
• Visual strobe alarm
• Allergen-specific space (AC and/or no carpet)
• Proximity to classes
• Proximity to dining
• Proximity to parking
• Proximity to restroom
• Access to single-user restroom
• Access to semi-private restroom
• Access to semi-private kitchen

Students who may need housing accommodations because of a medical dietary disability and/or condition, other than access to a community kitchen, must also follow the process for requesting a meal plan accommodation.
