Approval Process to have an Animal in Campus Housing
Pets: Professional staff who live in Carroll housing may apply to have a pet. Proof of licensure in Lewis and Clark County and current health records will need to be on file in Residential Life & Housing. Owners must complete the “Application For Approval Form” to be approved by the Office of Student Life. These pets will only be allowed in the professional staff ’s campus housing and will not be allowed in any other building on campus.
Anthrozoology Dogs: Those students who are enrolled in Carroll College Anthrozoology Canine classes to train a dog through the Anthrozoology program may apply to have a dog in campus housing. Proof of licensure with the City of Helena and current health records will need to be on file in Residential Life & Housing. Owners must complete the “Application For Approval Form” to be approved by the Office of Student Life. Animals approved under this program must strictly follow all expectations set forth by the Anthrozoology program and Residential Life & Housing.
Emotional Support Animals (ESA) and ADA Service Animals: Requests for ESAs and ADA Service Animals in College housing and campus facilities will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Requests should be made to the Office of Student Life. Students wishing to have an ESA or Service Animal in any Carroll housing facility must complete the “Application For Approval Form” to be approved by the Accessibility Services Coordinator and the Office of Student Life. All dogs must complete and pass the AKC Certified Canine Good Citizen Training. The Accessibility Services Coordinator will gather and assess evidence as necessary from a licensed healthcare provider to determine if an ESA is necessary as a reasonable accommodation.
