RESIDENCE LIFE REQUESTS
(Based on Medical, Psychological, or Disability Related Needs)
NDSU student living facilities are designed to extend the student's educational experience beyond the classroom.
The learning and residential environments at NDSU provide students with an opportunity to enhance a variety of educational, cultural, social, and recreational activities. Residence Life offers a wide range of living environments, capable of catering to almost any need that a student may have.

Residence Life environment will impact the condition or the
treatment of the condition.
B. A statement with suggestions that may minimize the impact of
the condition in a university living environment.
C. Contact information for the licensed professional who diagnosed
or is treating the condition. Include name, address, phone, and
fax number. The student will need to include a signed release
for this individual to exchange information with NDSU Disability
Services. Releases can be obtained through the licensed
professional's office.

in the request. Below is a link where the release can be found.
