BSU Animal Policy: POLICY REGARDING ANIMALS ON CAMPUS (bridgew.edu)
Policy Introduction:
Bridgewater State University recognizes the importance of Service Animals and Emotional Support Animals (“ESAs”) to individuals with disabilities. This Policy ensures that people with disabilities receive the benefit of the tasks performed or therapeutic support provided by such animals. This Policy applies to all members of the University community, including, students, faculty, staff, vendors and visitors. The University is committed to allowing people with disabilities the use of a Service Animals or ESA on campus to facilitate their full participation in and equal access to the University’s programs and activities. At the same time, the University has an obligation to be attentive to the health and safety of other individuals within its community. This Policy and its procedures are focused on meeting these dual obligations. The University reserves the right to amend this Policy as circumstances require. Students should address all questions regarding the Policy to the Office of Student Accessibility Services. Employees should address all questions regarding the Policy to the Office of Equal Opportunity.
