Students with specialized housing requirements

Residence Services is committed to supporting students with a living environment that meets their needs. A new process is in place for requesting inclusive housing accommodations.

Residence Services has introduced a single housing application for all students. When applying for residence, students can select their preferred housing type and identify housing features that support functional limitations and needs associated with disabilities, chronic health-related conditions, or religious/cultural practices.

In most cases, supporting documentation will not be required. Medical or other documentation will only be requested in certain situations, such as when inventory for specific features is limited. If supporting documentation is needed, students will be contacted by email after submitting their application.

All residence applications are managed through the same admissions process. UVic remains committed to providing inclusive, accessible, and barrier-free housing wherever possible.
