Housing & Dietary Accommodations

Housing Accommodations 
Grove City College is committed to providing equal access to College housing for individuals with documented disabilities. The disability services coordinator works in collaboration with the director of residence life to determine appropriate and reasonable accommodations. 
 
Students who wish to request housing accommodations should refer to the Housing Accommodation Policy. Documentation of the disability as well as a formal meeting with the disability services coordinator will determine if the request is reasonable. Please note: Submission of documentation does not guarantee approval of a request. Housing accommodation include, but are not limited to:
 
  • Medically necessary air conditioning
  • Mobility issues that require a housing assignment with an elevator or first-floor access
  • Use of a service animal
  • Need for a private room
  • Need for a semi-private bathroom (completely private bathrooms are not available)
  • Need for access to a kitchen
  • Need for an emotional support animal
Students may request a housing accommodation at any time, however, requests made for the following fall semester, after the deadlines below, will be considered but may not be able to be put into place until a subsequent semester. Depending on the timeframe and the nature of the request, it is possible for a housing accommodation to be approved but not implemented until the following semester. 
 

Housing Accommodation Request Deadlines (Fall 2023)
*As noted above, requests received after these deadlines will still be reviewed, but, if approved, may not be put into place until a subsequent semester. Please note, housing is assigned each spring for the following academic year.

  • Colonial Hall (Apartments): February 1, 2023
  • Returning Students (All Other Housing): March 1, 2023
  • Incoming Freshmen/Transfer Students: April 1, 2023
Emotional Support Animals

Although it is the policy of Grove City College that animals of any kind are prohibited from any type of College housing, the College will consider requests for an emotional support animal by an individual with a significant mental health disability in accordance with the Fair Housing Act. 

Emotional support animals are NOT permitted in College housing at any time without first receiving approval from the disability services coordinator. Individuals found with an unauthorized animal in College housing are subject to disciplinary sanctions. 

View the Emotional Support Animal Policy and required paperwork. 

Service Animal  

Grove City College will amend the current no pet policy for the presence of a service animal as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) if a student’s disability requires such assistance while on campus and in College housing. 

View the Service Animal Policy. 

Dietary Accommodations

Grove City College seeks to support students with unique and specific dietary needs due to a diagnosed condition or upon the recommendation of the student’s medical provider. Conditions which may require dietary accommodations include, but are not limited to, severe food allergies, celiac disease, irritable bowel syndrome, etc. The disability services coordinator will work with the College’s food services provider to determine appropriate and reasonable accommodations.

Students who wish to request dietary accommodations should complete the application to request accommodations (on the menu to the right). Documentation of the need for dietary accommodations and a meeting with the disability services coordinator and/or a representative of the food services provider will determine the best path forward.
