The University of Nebraska–Lincoln offers accommodation options to students who may require specific adjustments to their housing or dining arrangements. Our goal is to ensure that every student at UNL has the opportunity to thrive academically and personally, fostering a welcoming community for all.

Housing Accommodations

Students with disabilities can request an accommodation to their residence hall housing. Learn more about housing accommodations on the Services for Students with Disabilities website.

For inquires about Emotional Support Animals, please review this web page.

To ensure that approved accommodations can be provided, requests for accommodations in Housing should be submitted to Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) and approved prior to May 1 (for the fall semester) or November 15 (for the spring semester). It is vital to begin the accommodation process as soon as possible; SSD requires 2-4 weeks for the review and approval process. The Housing accommodations approved after the stated deadlines may be restricted by housing availability.

Dining Accommodations

For Dining accommodations related to food allergies or other dietary needs, please contact Ellyn McCarter, RD, LMNT at emccarter2@unl.edu. Ellyn will share resources and options on a case-by-case basis.

Dynamic Housing

Driven by student demand, students may sign up for dynamic housing as part of the housing application process. Students who opt into dynamic housing are assigned a roommate and room regardless of sex. Students can select their preference on their housing application.
