Accommodation Request for Animal in University Property
The approval of a particular animal requested by a resident of university housing as an emotional support animal is determined on a case-by-case basis through an interactive process involving the individual requesting the accommodation and relevant campus personnel to ensure the ESA -
1. is necessary to provide an individual with a disability an equal opportunity to use and enjoy University Housing; and
2. the animal will not fundamentally alter a University program, service or activity, pose an undue financial and/or administrative hardship, or pose a direct threat to the health or safety of other individuals, or cause substantial damage to the property of other individuals or the University.
This may require the University to assess the impact of an ESA on other campus residents, patrons, or programs.

The University will accept and consider a request for an ESA at any time. The individual making the request for an ESA should complete the accommodation request process with the Disability and Accessibility Resources unit as soon as possible prior to moving into University Housing. The process includes completion of the Request for Accommodations form and submission of the Disability Verification Form and documentation verifying the need for an ESA.

If the request for an ESA is made fewer than 60 days before the individual intends to move into University Housing, the University cannot guarantee that it will be able to meet the ESA request during the initial term of occupancy. If the need for an ESA arises when the individual already resides in University Housing, the University will work with the individual but cannot guarantee that the ESA request can be met in a timely manner.

An animal may not be brought into University Housing without expressed approval from a designee of the Division of Business and Finance.

As part of the ESA approval process, a Housing representative will liaise with the Disability and Accessibility Resources unit. The disability unit staff will provide the Housing representative with the following information:
- Whether the ESA accommodation is approved.
- ESA species and all other relevant information (e.g., age, weight, height, housebroken status, etc.)
  All requests for an ESA in University Housing are subject to an annual review.
By signing here, I am indicating that I have read and understand the information above regarding the ESA process.

Clear
Explain how the requested accommodation of an animal in university housing is based on the impacts and limitations associated with your condition and why it is necessary to create access for you? (refer to instructions below)
Provide a brief description indicating how the requested accommodations are associated with your disability related needs. In other words, based on the impacts of the condition - how will the requested accommodations assist you in overcoming the barriers you experience in the housing setting. This is not the diagnosis itself or because it was recommended by a medical provider.

SUBMISSION PAGE
This form initiates a request for a workplace accommodation due to your own medical condition. This will begin communications to evaluate your requested accommodation(s) and discuss the best way to meet the needs of both you and the Institution. Please note that you may be required to submit a timely, complete, and sufficient certification from an appropriate health care provider to support your request for accommodation, and the failure to timely and fully comply with such documentation requirements, or to cooperate in this process, may result in delay or denial of your request.
