Current Students with Approved Accommodations

Students who have approved accommodations, in most cases, will not need to submit additional documentation while enrolled at Gettysburg College. When a student’s situation changes, additional documentation may be required.

Academic

Current students do not need to update their academic accommodations unless there has been a change in their needs/situation. If students need a copy of their Verification of Accommodations Letter (VAL) it can be accessed on Navigate via the Notes tab. If students have a change in need, they should contact the Center for Student Success (student_success@gettysburg.edu)

Housing

Current students with housing accommodations will be contacted prior to the housing selection process which occurs in the Spring for the following year. At that time, students will receive an email to verify and/or update their housing accommodation needs. Residential Education will provide information to each student individually about how they will proceed through the housing selection process prior to April 1. Residential Education will work with students to ensure that their approved accommodations are met through this process. Accommodations do not guarantee students will live in a specific housing unit (i.e. dorm, motel, suite, apartment, etc.). 

Emotional Support Animals (ESA)

Current students with an approved ESA will be contacted prior to the housing selection process, which occurs in the Spring for the following year. At that time, students will receive an email to verify and/or update the name/type/breed of their ESA as well as their intent to bring the ESA to campus for the upcoming year.

Dining

Current students with dining accommodations will be contacted in the Spring to review the continuation of their dining accommodations for the upcoming year.
