Emory University: Can my student have a service animal or emotional-support animal in campus housing?

By CollegeHousing.ai · Sources checked · 2026-27

DIRECT ANSWER

Service animals are handled under disability law and policy; an assistance or emotional-support animal in housing requires the applicable Emory accessibility approval before residence.

Emory DAS includes assistance-animal needs within its accommodation framework, while residential policy distinguishes approved service/assistance animals from ordinary pets. A student seeking an emotional-support/assistance animal should complete the DAS process and receive written authorization before bringing the animal into University housing.
