The Office of Disability Access Services (DAS) and Housing and Residential Life at NMSU work together to ensure that students with disabilities can participate in all Residence Life programs.
If you have a disability and need to request reasonable modifications for housing or need access to an emotional support animal, please complete the application below below and submit the corresponding verification form to the DAS office. You can have your provider fill out the applicable verification form below to provide us with information needed to make a determination. Once your application and supporting documentation are recieved, we will schedule an interactive interview to make an accommodation determination.
- Housing Accommodation Application – to be completed and submitted by the student
- Housing Verification Form – This form is to be completed by a licensed clinical professional or health care provider familiar with the history and functional limitations of the student’s condition(s).
- Emotional Support Animal (ESA) Verification Form- This form is to be completed by the licensed clinical professional or health care provider that is recommending the ESA and is familiar with the history and functional limitations of the student's condition(s).
- Roommate Agreement Form- This form is to be completed when making an ESA accommodation request and you have roommates/suitemates. All roommates/suitemates must sign the form indicating that they agree to allowing the ESA in the same room. Approved ESA's are only to remain in the studen's room who is approved for the ESA and should not be in the common areas.
Please note that timely housing applications and requests for accessibility are critical if you wish to have accessible housing when you arrive on campus.
An emotional support animal cannot be brought on campus housing until it is approved through the Disability Access Services office. Be advised that students are required to have a tag for their approved ESA issued by the DAS office. Approved ESA's must be wearing the tag at all times.
