Georgia Tech: 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 accessibility law and Housing rules; an emotional-support animal requires the Georgia Tech disability/housing approval process before residence.

Georgia Tech's animal guidance distinguishes ordinary pets from disability-related animals. Service animals may be permitted under applicable rules, while an emotional-support animal requires an approved housing accommodation through ODS and coordination with Housing before the animal lives in campus housing.
