Residential accommodations may be provided to CCSU resident students who qualify under the Americans with Disability Act Amendment (ADAA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and complete the following application process. Housing request and deposit must be paid and Submission of documentation of a substantial need from a qualified physician/clinician with the following information listed.

Central Connecticut State University’s (CCSU) Standard Meal Plan Policy requires all students living on campus to purchase a meal plan. There are several meal plan options https://www.ccsu.edu/reslife/mealPlanOptions.html . 

CCSU and our Dining Service staff have also developed options for those looking for vegetarian or vegan meals, as well as food items free from food allergens, by providing celiac diet menus and other specialized options. Please see this page for more information https://ccsudining.sodexomyway.com/explore/nutrition.

Exceptions to the Standard Meal Plan Policy for Residential students are permitted only under certain circumstances and will be considered an accommodation. All students who are applying for this accommodation will be registered with the Office of Student Disability. Students who have special circumstances requiring an exemption from the University’s Meal Plan must complete the Meal Plan Exemption Request Form and all other required material, and follow the procedures listed below. These forms must be submitted each year, 30 days prior to the first day of classes.

Documentation that includes a diagnosis from a physician/clinician or is contained in a psycho-educational testing report is required to complete the Intake process and approve accommodations. Documentation requirements are different depending on the nature of the disability and the accommodation requested. Please see Documentation Requirements on the SDS website, and be sure to bring documentation to the Intake meeting, if not sent prior to the meeting. We also have a Disability Verification form to guide physicians/clinicians with needed information. See SDS Forms. Note: 504 Plans or IEPs are considered useful, but are not considered required documentation.
