Carole, We did have this request on our campus last semester. However, with the recent rewrites on the ADA in January, animals for "emotional support" were removed. If you would like to reply to me off list, I can link you up with our Director of Disabilities, as he can let you know more about the situation. He has researched it quite a bit, due to this unusual request. Marcie A.

Currently we have our first request for permission to bring a therapy dog on campus. Does your institution allow therapy animals (for emotional support) in housing as an accommodation? What is your policy? -- Carole Basak, Associate Director Academic Support Services St. Norbert College 100 Grant St DePere, WI 54115 929-403-3875 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To access the LRNASST-L archives or User Guide, or to change your subscription options (including subscribe/unsubscribe), point your web browser to http://www.lists.ufl.edu/archives/lrnasst-l.html To contact the LRNASST-L owner, email [log in to unmask] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To access the LRNASST-L archives or User Guide, or to change your subscription options (including subscribe/unsubscribe), point your web browser to http://www.lists.ufl.edu/archives/lrnasst-l.html To contact the LRNASST-L owner, email [log in to unmask]
