Intake Application

Reasonable housing accommodations may be available for CCSU students living on campus who complete the OAS registration process and are found eligible under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Please note that students must also submit a separate housing application and deposit directly to Residence Life.

Central Connecticut State University’s (CCSU) standard meal plan policy requires all students living on campus to purchase a meal plan. CCSU offers several meal plan options, which can be viewed here: https://www.ccsu.edu/reslife/mealPlanOptions.html.

CCSU Dining Services also provides a variety of options for students with dietary needs and preferences, including vegetarian and vegan meals, allergen-free food items, celiac-friendly menu options, and other specialized dining accommodations. More information is available at:
https://ccsudining.sodexomyway.com/explore/nutrition.

Requests for an exception to the standard meal plan policy are considered on a case-by-case basis as an accommodation request. Students seeking this accommodation must register with the Office of Accessibility Services (OAS) and provide appropriate documentation supporting their request. Requests must be submitted each academic year and should be received at least 30 days prior to the first day of classes.

Documentation requirements vary depending on your diagnosis and the accommodations being requested. Please carefully review the information below and upload your documentation directly to Accommodate, if possible. Alternatively, documentation may be scanned and emailed in PDF format to accessibilityservices@ccsu.edu.

Please note that IEPs and 504 Plans developed in high school are helpful and will be reviewed as part of the Intake process; however, they are not alone sufficient documentation for determining eligibility for accommodations. If you have questions or concerns regarding documentation requirements, please contact the Office of Accessibility Services (OAS) at 860-832-1952 to speak with a Disability Specialist.
