Our Commitment...

Your ability to be fully involved in the many events, programs and opportunities provided for you while living on campus is the goal of Access Services. CSUN Housing staff recognizes that the occasional barrier to an individual's experience can be frustrating and hinder their growth and development. Your comfort and ability to navigate through your community is a priority to us.

As proactive as the department can be to recognize and resolve potential barriers, some of them may slip by us. Access Services is available to process your requests for accommodations and puts the wheels in motion to overcome barriers. With your request for services the potential for accommodation is limitless.

Some potential barriers that we can accommodate are:

• Communication - Sign Language interpreters can be requested for events, activities and roommate meetings.
• Environmental - Room changes due to sensitivities, lighting options or consideration of allergies.
• Physical - Electric door opening devices can be placed on heavy doors, walkways cleared of debris for easy passage or boards placed under mattresses to make a bed firm.
• Visual - Enlarged print hand outs at programs, lighting options or room selection based on need.

All requests will be taken into consideration. Each request must be validated through the Center on Disabilities and with a physician’s recommendation letter. Request more information about our accommodation protocols and procedures by contacting our Special Projects Coordinator.

Sincerely,

Erica Lovano McCann
