Can I live with my pet in the residential halls?

In order to bring a pet onto campus, students must register with the Office of Residential Life through the Pet Registration Form. Students are not allowed to bring pets into any college-owned buildings except for very small animals kept at all times within cages, aquariums, or terrariums. All roommates within a room, suite, or apartment must approve of the pet. Students are strictly prohibited from having any venomous or dangerous pets. Other than service animals trained to provide assistance for the benefit of a student with a disability or emotional support animals approved by the Office of Accessibility and Educational Opportunity, dogs and cats are strictly prohibited. More information can be found here on the Residential Life: Pets, ESAs, and Service Animals Policy.
