The University welcomes the presence of services animals and emotional support animals assisting people with disabilities on its campuses.
Service Animals
A service animal is any dog or miniature horse specifically trained to perform a task for the benefit of an individual with a disability.
Services animals are generally permitted to be on University property in any place where the animal’s handler is permitted to be.
Emotional Support Animals (ESA)
An approved ESA for an individual who lives in University housing is permitted within the individual’s assigned living accommodations. An ESA outside the private living accommodations must be in an animal carrier or on a leash. ESA’s are not allowed in any other controlled spaces without advance permission. ESA’s are permitted to be in outdoor public areas to the same extent as pets.
An ESA can be any kind of animal specifically approved by Human Resources or the Center for Students with Disabilities as an accommodation in the individual's living or working space. ESAs are not permitted in other controlled spaces on campus, though are able to access any public areas at will.
