Important Dates and Timelines

Please review the dates and timelines provided below to understand when to submit accommodation requests and how long to expect processes to take.  

General Inquiries Timeline 

OAS does its best to respond to general inquiries to the email or voicemail inbox within 24 hours. Due to the high volume of requests at peak times in the semester (e.g. the first two weeks of the semester, midterms, finals) responses may be delayed.  

Accommodation Request Timeline 

The accommodation request process can vary in length based on whether the student has all required documentation prepared at the time of the intake appointment. Students can generally make an intake appointment within several days of submitting their request and can expect their accommodation letter within two weeks of (1) their intake appointment, and (2) submission of appropriate documentation.  

Students are welcome to schedule an appointment before they have their documentation assembled, but they will not receive an accommodation letter until the documentation is received and reviewed.  

Housing Accommodation Priority Deadlines 

Students may request accommodations at any time, but there are priority deadlines to consider to ensure accommodations can be implemented before the start of a semester. 

• Current Students: Priority date for housing accommodations is March 14, 2025. This includes documentation! If you submit a request before March 14 but it does not include required documentation, it will not be considered for the priority deadline. You may submit accommodation requests after March 14, but we cannot guarantee the availability of all accommodations, and you may be waitlisted.  
• Incoming First Year Students ONLY: Priority date for housing accommodations is July 1. This includes documentation! If you submit a request before March 14 but it does not include required documentation, it will not be considered for the priority deadline. You may submit accommodation requests after March 14, but we cannot guarantee the availability of all accommodations, and you may be waitlisted.
