Thank you for contacting the CEA about your housing and/or dining services accommodation needs. The CEA and University Housing work closely together to ensure accommodations are appropriately implemented for students with disabilities living on campus. We welcome the opportunity to work with you to address your housing and/or dining services needs.
A University Housing contract must be completed to live on campus.
In order to initiate the housing/dining services accommodation request process, the
student must complete these steps:
1. Complete and submit this request.
2. Obtain documentation from a qualified health or other provider in support of the requested accommodation(s). Documentation must include the diagnosed disability, functional limitations, along with recommendations for accommodations.
3. Provide disability-related documentation to CEA. If you have documentation at the time you fill out the request form, you can upload your documentation. Or, submit documentation by mail, fax, or email using the following contact information.

Upon receiving both the completed online request and documentation,
CEA staff will:
• evaluate the request,
• email written notice to University Housing and/or Dining Services, and
• email a copy of the written notice to you via your UARK email address.
Requests will be evaluated in a timely manner within the context of current University policies, your needs, and available facilities.
Space is limited in University Housing facilities, so early requests for housing accommodations are strongly encouraged. Annual notification to University Housing of accommodations is required.

ACADEMIC ACCOMMODATIONS
Completing the request for Housing and/or Dining Services accommodation does
NOT include requesting academic accommodations which is a
separate process. If, at any time during your matriculation at the University of Arkansas, you would like to request academic accommodations to address disability-related barriers in a classroom setting, please schedule an access plan meeting with a CEA staff member to discuss the process. Our office can be reached by email to
ada@uark.edu or phone at 479.575.3104.
