Animal-Related Housing Accommodations
- To request a nonservice animal in university housing, students must first fill out the Nonservice Animal Release of Information Form.
- The submitted release form and a verification document will be sent to the health care provider listed on the form.
- Once the Office of Student Accessibility receives the documentation from the health care provider, staff will review it.
- A decision will be made, and the student will be informed of the outcome.
- Expect to receive communication from Housing and Residential Life about student rights and responsibilities regarding nonservice animals.
Receiving communication from Housing and Residential Life about animals in residence does not mean you have been approved for an animal in university housing.
If a student brings an unapproved animal to campus, the student will be required to remove it from university housing immediately due to the safety concerns for students and animals in congregate housing. The student can only bring an animal to campus once it has been approved.
Important deadlines
- To get fall housing accommodations, students must complete the housing application and the accommodation process by May 1. For example, housing accommodations needed by fall 2025 must be completed by May 1, 2025, to guarantee accommodation needs will be met.
- For spring housing accommodations, the deadline is Nov. 1. For example, housing accommodations needed by spring 2025 must be completed by Nov. 1, 2024, to guarantee accommodation needs will be met.
If the request is made less than 60 days before moving into the residence hall, 日本av视频 cannot guarantee that it will be able to meet the individual's accommodation needs during the first semester or term of occupancy.
The approval timeline varies based on the following factors:
- Submission date
- Available housing occupancy
- Review of submitted documentation and necessary animal verification
If the request is denied, students can reapply if they originally provided incomplete information or can appeal the decision by following the grievance process on the Office of Student Accessibility website.
