The owner/handler, not the University or another student, is responsible for the care and conduct of their animal.
The owner/handler must abide by all state and local laws regarding animals.
Animals must be kept clean, healthy and under control of the owner/handler at all times.
Animals and their accoutrements (e.g. heat lamp) must not pose a direct threat to the safety of others.
The owner/handler is responsible for prompt clean up and disposal of the animal’s waste.
Animals must not make excessive noise or display behavior that will disrupt other community members.
The University is not responsible for an animal during a fire alarm, fire drill, or natural disaster.
An animal cannot be left alone for more than 24 hours.
The owner/handler is subject to charge for damage caused by the animal in the same manner as community members are charged for damage that is caused by an individual.
• The owner/handler is responsible for any financial charges for bodily injury caused by the animal to any individual, including the owner/handler.
The owner/handler must notify the Academic Center for Excellence in writing if the animal is no longer needed in residence. To replace an Emotional Support Animal the student must file a new request to the Academic Center for Excellence.
An approval for an Emotional Support Animal is good only for the academic year in which it has been approved. A petition for an Emotional Support Animal must be submitted for each academic year.
Emotional Support Animals are only permitted in the privately assigned residential room. When transported outside the privately assigned residential room the animal must be in an animal carrier or controlled by a leash or harness at all times.
I have been approved by the Academic Center for Excellence to have an emotional support animal on campus with me for the 2014-2015 academic year. I have read over the guidelines and by initialing and signing this document I understand that any violation of these guidelines may result in the loss of this privilege, and the required removal of the animal.
