Service Animals
In order to maintain a safe environment for all students, employees, and campus visitors, SDSU enforces policies that regulate animals on campus. Service Animals as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments Act of 2008 (ADAAA), are allowed in campus buildings when they are serving an individual with a disability.
Under the revised requirements of the ADAAA, only dogs (and in some cases miniature horses) are recognized as service animals. A service dog has been specifically trained to work or perform tasks for a person with a disability. These service animals may accompany individuals with disabilities in areas where the general public may also go. Service dogs must also be leashed and the individual must have complete control over the animal.
