As stated in the Barnard catalogue, housing options for Barnard students include traditional dormitories, suite arrangements, and apartments in College-owned buildings adjacent to the campus. All resident Barnard students are expected to follow housing policies and procedures developed by the Office of Student Life. Transfer students are housed based on availability and are traditionally placed in multiple rooms. For students who need wheelchair-accessible housing, there are two options. Rooms on the fifth and sixth floors of Hewitt have been modified as suites of two single rooms with an adjoining bath with roll-in shower facilities.
Communal baths have accessible fixtures and roll-in showers.
However, disabled students who are not wheelchair users may be relocated if necessary in the event that a wheelchair user needs an accessible room. A limited number of accessible spaces are available. Submit your own brief written explanation of your particular disability and why it requires some form of specialized housing consideration. Telephone interviews may be arranged if travel problems arise. Applications not completed by housing deadlines will not be accepted or considered.
