Student Access and Accommodations

Housing + Meal Plan Accommodations

» Requesting Housing Accommodations for Students with Disabilities

Lawrence Technological University (LTU) strives to provide reasonable and appropriate accommodations for those students with verified disabilities. If you are a student with a documented disability and are considering enrolling at LTU and living on campus, or if you are currently an enrolled student, please follow the list of procedures listed below.

The Disability Services Office, along with the collaboration of the Housing Office, will consider your request and communicate our decision to you through email. Said decision will be final.

To avoid any conflict of interest, the Office of Disability Services will not accept documentation provided by family member, close relatives, and/or people not serving in official capacity with the student.     

  • First, contact the Disability Services Office as early as possible to receive the full benefit of services available. Services will be provided on a case-by-case basis and the types of accommodations provided are dependent on the impact of the student’s disability.
  • Complete and submit the following documentation:
    • Disability Housing Accommodation Request Form,  including all pertinent medical/clinical documentation. The doctor or medical professional must specifically and explicitly state what accommodations or housing needs the student requires. The Office of Disability Services does not make recommendations or infer what accommodations a student might need.
    • A cover letter written by the student detailing the reason for the request, the accommodations requested, and how the requested accommodations would provide access. The cover letter should be at least one page, typed, and double spaced.

» Requests for Reduced-Distraction or Distraction-Free Spaces

Residential Housing is not a distraction free or reduced distraction environment. By virtue of shared facilities, resources, and number of people living under one roof, students living within LTU communities cannot expect quiet-distraction free space within residence halls. Living within the community and learning to share space and be considerate of others is part of the learning experience.

» Housing Accommodation Appeals Process

To request a housing accommodation, students must submit the Housing Accommodation Request Form to the Office of Disability Services. The Disability Services Advisor reviews the submitted documentation and relays the reasonable accommodation determined to the student, if approved. In the event that a housing accommodation is not approved, a formal appeal process is available to students to request an additional review of the request.

  1. The student should connect with the Disability Services Advisor to determine if a resolution may be reached before beginning an appeals process. The Disability Services Advisor may request to speak with the medical professional who completed the form to obtain additional information regarding the request.
  2. If the decision cannot be resolved after meeting with the Disability Services Advisor, the student may contact the Dean of Students (studean@ltu.edu). The student may be asked to submit new/additional documentation.
  3. The Dean of Students will review the previous and/or additional documentation and information and provide a decision to the student. The student will be notified of the decision in writing through email. This decision will be final.

» Meal Plan Accommodation Requests

Lawrence Technological University (LTU) strives to provide reasonable and appropriate accommodations for those students with verified disabilities and medical conditions. Students, please read the below information carefully:

  • If request is based on a disability or medical condition that impacts the student, please contact the Disability Services Office at  stuaccess@ltu.edu. The student will register with our Office by providing appropriate documentation supporting there is a disability impacting diet (see  Meal Plan Accommodation Request Form). The Disability Services Office will then make a decision on whether the request is approved and thus any appropriate accommodations. Communication of our decision will be sent to the student via email.
  • If request is based on dietary or religious preferences,  please contact Dining Services at  campusdining@ltu.edu to schedule a meeting with our Dining Services Chef or designee to discuss and review all of our menu options, ingredients, or cooking methods. The goal of this process is to provide students with the knowledge and tools they need to be active in the management of their diet.
  • If request is based on the economics of the student, please email the Housing Office at housing@ltu.edu.

To avoid any conflict of interest, the Office of Disability Services will not accept documentation provided by family members, close relatives, and/or people not serving in an official capacity with the student.

Please be aware that the Office of Disability Services does not grant meal plan exemptions. All requests are determined on a case-by-case basis.
