Accommodations

Housing accommodations

Students needing housing accommodations due to disability need to register with Disability Support Services. This registration can be done by contacting the disability support coordinator, Geoff Brown by email at gbrown@stmartin.edu or phone 360-438-4580. In order to have a successful understanding of the necessary accommodations, please be prepared to present a recent evaluation conducted by a qualified professional that describes your disability and supports the need for the specific accommodations you are requesting.

Does my accommodation affect the cost of the room?

• Generally, cost may be adjusted according to the room’s price before the accommodation was made. For example, if the accommodation requires a single room, the individual may be housed alone in a double room space, and be charged for a double.

Service animal policy

All service animals (those that may attend class, or live in residence) must be registered with the disability support services coordinator. A doctor’s note saying what the animal was prescribed for and what tasks the animal performs to assist with the disability is required. Animals being trained as service animals are not welcome in residence.
