Accommodation Requests/Placements Search allows you to search and review Accommodation Requests and Placements across all students from one central page.
This makes it easier to monitor accommodation activity, locate specific requests/placements, and access the actions required to manage them.
For Accommodation Requests/Placements related to a specific student, go to the student's Services tab and open the Accommodation section. See this article: Student Accommodation.
The student accommodation functionality is provided by the Equator Accommodation and Transfer Services App. If you do not see the details explained in this article, contact your system administrator to make sure the App is installed.
