To be considered for approval to have an animal reside in your on-campus housing residence as an ESA, students must complete the Emotional Support Animal Application and submit it to AAS. A complete application must also include documentation from a qualified healthcare or mental health services provider that supports the student’s request to have an ESA in on-campus housing. The documentation should be on the provider’s official letterhead and should be written by a provider that is familiar with the student and the use of ESA’s as a means of treatment.
Each request will be reviewed by Access and Accommodation Services, University Housing, and Student Conduct. Only completed applications will be reviewed. The committee will contact the student if additional information is needed. Once a decision has been made, the student will be notified via their A-State student email.
