The Accommodation Process Here
UCLA's Center for Accessible Education handles ESA requests for university housing, applying UC system policy and California law. AB 468's 30-day provider relationship applies to California-issued letters, so early planning matters.
Where requests go: Center for Accessible Education (CAE)
Insider tip: Westwood's off-campus buildings are corporate-managed and verification-heavy, so a UCLA student's letter should be verifiable both on and off campus.
