How will I know if my request has been approved?

You will be notified of the outcome of your request via Longwood e-mail within 10 days following the submission deadline.

If I miss the deadline, can I still submit the request form?

No. Requests are processed immediately following the due date in order to assist in priority housing assignments.

If I am granted my specialized housing request this year, does it guarantee that my request will be granted again next year?

No. You must submit a request each year prior to the housing assignment. All approved appeals are granted on a limited space basis.

Deadlines

Because housing accommodations are contingent on availability, requests made after the deadlines are not guaranteed.
