Below you will find important forms and documents relating to Residential Life here at PSU.
Animals, in general, are not allowed on campus- except fish in a small tank. Requests for service animals or emotional support animals are considered for students with a documented disability and consist of a two-step process.
ESA/Service animal approval - two-step process:
1. Reasonableness- Campus Accessibility Services (CAS): Individuals who wish to bring an ESA or service animal to campus must first obtain confirmation of a reasonable accommodation through Campus Accessibility Services. CAS will send confirmation to the Office of Residential Life once processed.
2. Animal Health and Policy Adherence- Residential Life: Once confirmation is received, the Housing Coordinator will email the student a link to the Service/Support Animal Housing Application. This online application is needed to confirm the health of the animal, acknowledgement of policies and adherence to same. An updated form is required annually.
