Service animals are allowed in academic buildings. Emotional support animals are not. 

A few things to know about service animals:

  • Service animals are the only animals allowed anywhere on campus.
  • They are not required to wear identifying vests or harnesses.
  • You may ask only two questions about a service animal:
    • Is the animal required for a disability?
    • What disability-related work or task has the animal been trained to perform?
  • You may ask the handler to remove a service animal if it causes a disruption.

Emotional support animals are only allowed in residential spaces.
