8. Click Save & Continue
9. Download and complete the Medical Need Exemption Form
   • Note: The exemption request is not complete and therefore will not be processed until this is submitted
10. Upload a completed  Medical Need Exemption Form and click Submit Exemption Application

12. Medical, Psychological, or Disability Exemptions are based upon the information entered by the student and verified by their care provider. These claims are then evaluated by our exemption committee to assess whether University Housing has the ability to accommodate the student's needs. Exemptions are evaluated in the order they are received by University Housing
    • Note: Medical, Psychological, or Disability Exemptions are not processed until University Housing receives faxed confirmation from the students provider. After we receive confirmation, exemptions should be processed within 2-6 weeks
13. There is no way for University Housing to quantify how likely it is that an exemption will get approved. The approval or denial of a housing exemption is solely based on the requirements outlined for each exemption and the university's ability to accommodate students' needs
    • Note: University Housing recommends that students do not sign an off-campus lease until their exemption is approved
