Procedures for requesting an emotional support animal in Harrisonburg EMU campus housing
Timeline: Requests for Emotional Support Animals must be submitted 30 days prior to the beginning of classes for the semester for which the ESA is requested. Once the request is submitted, the EMU offices involved (Office of Academic Access, Residence Life) will have 14 days to review and respond to the request in writing. EMU residential students are limited to 1 (one) ESA approved (at a time) for occupancy in campus housing. If a student wishes to change animals (for example from a cat to a dog), the student must submit a new request for Emotional Support Animal.
The procedure for requesting an ESA follows the general procedures for receiving reasonable accommodation for students with disabilities and the requirements set forth below. See the last page of this policy for the specific request process.
