The Disability and Accommodation Services page is your central resource for understanding the accommodations and services available through Huntington University's Academic Center for Excellence. In alignment with the Americans with Disabilities Act, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Fair Housing Act, we are committed to providing access to all students while also caring for the whole person.
Here, you can explore options for academic accommodations, medical and housing-related needs, emotional support animals (ESAs), and temporary accommodations due to injury or short-term conditions. You’ll also find guidance on how to request services, required documentation, and steps to connect with our team for support. If you have a need or service request that does not fit within the options listed here, please reach out to us at ace@huntington.edu so we can work with you.
We are committed to supporting students with documented disabilities by providing reasonable academic accommodations based on current, appropriate documentation. Because each student’s experience is unique, accommodations are thoughtfully determined on an individual, case-by-case basis. Our goal is to ensure equitable access to the academic experience while maintaining the integrity of the university’s programs.
If you’d like to request academic accommodations, please complete the form below. You may attach recent documentation of your condition or disability and any prior accommodation records, or email them to ace@huntington.edu. After your submission is received, the ACE Office will contact you to schedule an intake meeting to discuss your needs.
We work with students who have documented medical or disability-related needs to provide appropriate housing accommodations that support their health and well-being. This may include considerations such as single-room assignments, accessibility needs, or exceptions to standard housing policies (such as approved appliances or modified furnishings). Each request is reviewed individually, with decisions made based on documented need and in collaboration with campus housing staff to ensure a supportive living environment.
Medical Single Room Request: To apply for a medical single room, please have a licensed healthcare provider complete the attached form. Once completed, please email the form and any relevant documentation to ace@huntington.edu. When the ACE Office receives that information, you’ll be contacted to schedule a follow-up meeting to discuss your request.
Housing Accommodation Request: To request other housing accommodations (such as accessibility needs or exceptions to standard housing policies), please complete the attached form. Once finished, email the form and any relevant documentation to ace@huntington.edu. After your submission is received, the ACE Office will contact you to schedule a follow-up meeting to discuss your request.
We assist students with documented medical or disability-related needs in requesting emotional support animals (ESAs) within campus housing. Each request is reviewed individually, taking into account appropriate documentation and the student’s unique circumstances. The ACE Office works in partnership with campus housing staff to help create a living environment that supports student well-being while upholding community expectations.
ESA Request: To apply for an emotional support animal, please have a licensed healthcare provider complete the attached form. This provider should be someone whom you have seen in previous and ongoing treatment. Once completed, please email the form and any relevant documentation to ace@huntington.edu. When the ACE Office receives that information, you’ll be contacted to schedule a follow-up meeting to discuss your request.
If a student is approved for an ESA, all required forms must be signed and returned to the ACE Office before the animal arrives on campus, along with a recent photo of the ESA. This information is shared with need-to-know personnel on campus.
We understand that injuries and short-term conditions can arise unexpectedly. Our office is here to support you during these times. We may be able to offer temporary accommodations to improve access across campus and provide support within your academic experience.
Temporary Academic Accommodations: If a temporary injury or short-term condition affects your ability to participate academically, you may qualify for temporary academic accommodations. This can include situations such as concussions or injuries that impact your ability to write, type, or otherwise complete coursework. If you would like to pursue temporary academic accommodations, please email ace@huntington.edu with documentation of your injury or short-term condition. Once this information is received, the ACE Office will reach out to schedule a meeting.
Temporary Parking Pass: If a temporary injury or condition limits your mobility, you may qualify for a short-term parking pass to park closer to your classes or residence hall. To request one, please email ace@huntington.edu with documentation of your condition, a recovery timeframe provided by a licensed healthcare professional, and any other relevant information.
Please note that temporary parking passes are not retroactive. Parking tickets issued before a request is submitted will not be waived or revoked if the student did not contact our office in advance (such as before a scheduled surgery) or within a reasonable timeframe after the injury or condition occurs.
