Steps for Requesting Housing Accommodations on the Corvallis Campus

  1. Apply for housing through UHDS on your StarRez Portal.

  1. Apply with Disability Access Services (DAS). 
  1. Based on the information provided in your application, DAS may request the DAS Housing Documentation Form http://ds.oregonstate.edu/forms filled out by a qualified healthcare professional. This document can be faxed to 541-737-7354, emailed to [email protected], or sent via regular mail to the DAS office.

DAS PROCESS: 

  • DAS will send a reminder email to the student to complete the steps listed above once a housing accommodation request has been submitted.
  • Once provided with appropriate information for an OSU on-campus housing accommodation request, the DAS Housing Review Team will process and review the request. DAS will inform the student of the outcome of their housing accommodation request(s) through their OSU e-mail.
  • Housing accommodations are granted by DAS for an academic year (September – August of each year or the remainder of the current academic year).

SUMMER HOUSING ACCOMMODATION REQUESTS: 

If a student has not previously lived on-campus with DAS approved housing accommodations, or is requesting a change to previously eligible housing accommodations, then the above steps for requesting a DAS housing accommodation must be followed. 

IF YOU ARE A RETURNING OSU STUDENT LIVING ON-CAMPUS ACADEMIC YEAR: 

All students with currently approved housing accommodations through DAS will receive an email from UHDS regarding the housing application deadline for the upcoming academic year. Students choosing to live on campus again must request their housing accommodations according to the identified deadline.

If a student is requesting the same housing accommodations that were approved by DAS for the current/previous academic year, the student only needs to submit a Disability Accommodation Form (DAR) through their StarRez Portal (Step 2). 

Continuously enrolled students who miss the established UHDS deadline for requesting on-campus housing will lose their priority selection status. This includes returning students who are registered for services with DAS who are requesting housing accommodations for the upcoming academic year. It’s important to get the housing application and housing accommodation requests in as soon as possible.
