Students requesting services must complete an application form and provide Disability Services with verification of a disability.

Having a lofted bed provides additional floor space in your room. Only trained TWU Housing staff may change your bed configuration to be lofted. If you are moving in for the fall semester, you may submit your loft request starting July 15. Requests received before July 15 will not be approved. Requests will be addressed in the order received, some requests for fall may not be completed before move-in, and requests are completed based on staff availability.

To request a lofted bed, submit a work request at https://twu.edu/fmc/. Be sure to specify the correct building (i.e. “Parliament East” is Mary’s Hall Parliament Village). The Repair Center is HOUSING-DENTON CAMPUS. Be clear in your request regarding how high you want your mattress to be from the floor. Additional configuration requests may result in a charge. You will receive an email confirmation that your work request was submitted. Please do not submit additional requests.
