An individual may qualify for an emotional support animal if they are a person with a disability, the animal is necessary in order to provide the person an equitable opportunity to use and enjoy on-campus housing, and there is an identifiable relationship between the disability and the assistance the animal provides. 

In order to be approved for an emotional support animal, students must be registered with SAC.
