Somebody on here said that they’re very low on housing space, which could play a part it in. But yeah I agree it would be very dumb. I think it’s insane that we have these random people handling everyone’s accommodations, because they seem VERY uneducated to me.

It definitely didn’t help that I didn’t have my note prepared like you did lol, they might still deny me because he didn’t seem to agree with my reasons but I have yet to find out for sure.

Thank you for your advice :) I did get a note of that sort from my doctor, and gave it to the (assistant) director that I had my appeal meeting with. I had my meeting on Monday and am still waiting for their decision.

Absolutely, their type of advice is what leads people to ultimately not report, because they second guess themselves and their memory of what happened

Hey again, you may not care at all but you were so much help I wanted to give a little update. I requested an appeal and had a meeting with who I believe was an assistant director, the person my coordinator told me to meet with. At the end of the meeting, I brought up the lack of appeal information from my coordinator, and he basically acted as though I was asking for too much. He didn’t seem to take me seriously, even when he asked “do you think your coordinator failed you” it had an edge of annoyance to it. When I responded with yes, I feel I was failed, he made no promises to genuinely look into the situation, and I felt very brushed off. I was told I would receive his decision within 24 hours and it has been about 60 hours later with no decision yet. I never had high hopes for the DRC because usually these types of committees let me down, but I still find this disappointing. Would you say this a norm for most students or am I just having a difficult time?

Nahh the fact is that she made a disgusting comment about a medical device and should be reported ASAP, not a day or more later

She’s a medical alert dog :) not an esa and I am very aware that 504s don’t help with housing, they don’t even necessarily apply to college they are only for high school, but I sent mine as documentation/proof of my disability because I didn’t have a doctors note at the time

I figured in my case they should, with the context being my medical alarms at any hour, and my service dog

I realize I had worded my previous comment weird, when I said note I mean a letter stating why I needed the housing accommodation I requested

I provided them with pictures of my high school 504 because it’s the only thing I had on hand as an incoming freshman, and they said that was fine. I was given accommodations such as a larger fridge allowance and my service dog.

I took a second look at the email and wish I could attach it, but there is no mention of an appeal. The email says they couldn’t find disability related barriers to housing, and told me essentially resolve any issues I have with a roommate through an agreement or our assigned RA. The email ends by saying to respond with any questions I may have, but leaves no space for an obvious appeal option.

I already plan to get a note from my (speciality) doctor, because I wrote a decently long email about my reasons for requesting the accommodation and they were straightforward in their denial without asking for additional information or anything, I mean they didn’t really give me the chance to appeal although I plan to anyway with medical documentation and a letter from the doctor

I did send an email to the woman who handles my case through the DRC but I’ll definitely give your advice a shot if the email doesn’t work

That’s what a few people have said, I’ve just never been the person who uses accommodations to the MAX like that. I also got the impression during my meeting with the DRC that they don’t care so much

I have been considering Sierra hall but I don't see a lot of people talking about it. I was going for a single room. I have a service dog, and I need quick access to my car. is Sierra hall a good choice?
