Disability Accommodations
UC Irvine Student Housing works in close partnership with the UCI Disability Services Center. If you have a disability that may impact your on-campus housing needs, complete the DSC Intake Form, and a DSC Counselor will contact you to discuss your needs. Any housing accommodations that are required will be shared by the DSC office with Student Housing.
Off-Campus Housing
Living on-campus offers many advantages, but it is not required. For help finding housing off campus, visit the Off-Campus Housing page.
