  • You have a chronic medical condition (e.g., asthma, allergy) that necessitates use of an A/C.
  • You submit physician verification as explained below.
  • The B-W Disability Services for Students Office validates/concurs with your request.

If you are requesting use of your personal air-conditioner for the FIRST TIME, physician verification must be submitted on the B-W Disability Services form which is available online (see link below).  This verification will be retained on file in the Disability Services Office.  You must provide your housing information and signature on the form as well. 

If you are requesting use of your personal air-conditioner for OTHER THAN THE FIRST TIME, you do not need to submit new medical documentation; however; you must again complete the B-W Disability Services form which is available online (see link below).  Provide your housing information and signature.

Please review the following summary of responsibilities that explains the entire process, from request for approval to installation of your A/C unit by a Buildings & Grounds technician.
