Special Needs and Different Abilities
We work in coordination with the Office of Disability Services to provide housing accommodations to any resident with differing abilities or special needs.
Students interested in the possibility of a housing accommodation should initiate a housing application and a request for a housing accommodation simultaneously. In order to ensure that all requests are properly handled in accordance with UNC Charlotte's policies and procedures, as well as State and Federal laws, we kindly ask that students contact the Office of Disability Services to submit their housing accommodation requests.
Requests are subject to availability, and neither the presence of a disability nor approval for housing accommodations guarantees on-campus housing or a particular kind of space.
- Automatic Door Openers
- All our residence halls have at least one main exterior door equipped with an automatic door opening device. Additionally any interior hallway doors leading into the residential areas include automatic door openers. Residents who need to automatically operate these doors are given a remote that signals the door to open as needed.
- ADA/Accessible units are available in all our residence halls.
- These spaces and features vary by building, but can include automatic unit and/or bedroom doors, roll-in/transfer showers, wider doorways, strobes (doorbells and fire alarm), lower closet shelves and larger bedrooms.
- Elevator Access
- All of the residence halls on campus have elevators available which allows wheelchair users to navigate easily throughout our buildings.
