PETS AND SERVICE / ASSISTANCE ANIMALS

The only animals allowed in residence halls or apartments are fish living in an aquarium (20-gallon maximum), service animals (as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act), assistance animals (as defined by the Fair Housing Act), and the official university mascot.

Assistance animals (as defined by the Fair Housing Act) are only allowed in a student’s room or apartment after a request has been submitted and the Department of Residence Life has granted permission. Requests for assistance animals must be approved in writing before the student brings the animal into the hall or apartment. Requests for assistance animals should be directed to the Housing Assignments Office.
