These housing options accommodate different levels of access and students’ special needs are taken into consideration when assignments are made. Students requiring these accommodations should apply early since spaces are limited and in high demand.
The Center for Disability Access and Resources (CeDAR) provides comprehensive services
and accommodations to FAMU students with disabilities. As an advocate for students
with disabilities, the CeDAR collaborates with faculty, staff, and community partners
to provide accommodations for the unique needs of students both in and out of the
classroom.
The Office of University Housing works closely with CeDAR to place students with special
needs. CeDAR assesses the student’s requirements and makes housing recommendations
to the Office of University Housing, which then tries to place the students in available
housing satisfying those needs.
Students must both be registered with and be approved by CeDAR, as well as complete
a housing application to be eligible for special housing consideration.
Registration with the CeDAR office does not guarantee a housing assignment and placement
is subject to the availability of suitable housing spaces. Availability depends on
the number of students applying who require special housing accommodations, as well
as the number of residents returning to university housing for the school year.
You should contact both Center for Disability Access and Resources (CeDAR) and University Housing as early as possible if you have special needs for your housing (including requests
for single accommodations).
Center for Disability Access and Resources (CeDAR) is located at 667 Ardelia Court, Tallahassee, FL 32307.
"An inclusive world is a better world"
The CeDAR staff is committed to ensuring the rights and promoting the dignity, self-awareness, and self-advocacy of students with disabilities throughout the university. It is always our pleasure to serve you!
