Housing, Dining, and Emotional Support Animal Accommodation Information
The Office of Housing & Residence Life recognizes that some students may need housing, support animal, or meal plan accommodations.
Prior to May 1st, all new students need to have their housing deposit submitted in order for a Petition for Accommodation to be reviewed. After May 1st, when new student housing applications become available, the student will need their housing deposit and their housing application completed for a Petition for Accommodation to be reviewed.
Please see the information below related to Accommodation Requests. It is recommended for students to contact Accessibility Services (716-839-8228, access@daemen.edu) prior to submitting an Accommodation Request to aid with the process. For other questions, please reach out to our Director of Accessibility Services, Debbie Dimitrovski.
