ANIMALS ON CAMPUS
Service Animals
In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and sections of the Rehabilitation Act, qualified service animals are permitted on campus when accompanying a person who has a disability with few exceptions as prescribed by law. A service animal is an animal trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability. If a service animal is removed, Lakeshore will provide an opportunity to participate in the service, program, or activity without having the service animal present.
Emotional Support Animals
An emotional support animal is an animal that is not trained to do work or perform tasks, but whose presence provides emotional support, comfort, or companionship for the person with a disability. Emotional support animals are NOT service animals and are generally not allowed on campus. If an employee with a disability wants to use a non-service animal on campus, they should request an accommodation from Human Resources. If a student with a disability wants t use a non-service animal on campus, they should request an accommodation from Accommodation Services.
Therapy Animals
Although therapy animals are not considered service animals under the ADA, they may be permitted on campus, on a case-by-case basis, for certain events in limited areas. Therapy animals are trained to provide therapeutic contact to improve physical, social, emotional and/or cognitive functioning. For therapy animals to be considered for approval, the animal and handler must be certified by an accredited therapy animal training association and provide proof of liability insurance and required vaccinations. Any employee seeking to use a therapy dog in the course of their job duties must discuss with their respective Vice President and complete the necessary paperwork.
Animals used for Educational Programing
The college permits the presence of animals in public areas (interior and exterior) on campus when the animal is used to support educational programming and training. Such circumstances will be reviewed and approved by leadership on a case-by-case basis.
Removal of Animals from Campus
Animals must always be under the control of the handler. If they are not properly controlled by the handler, if the animal’s behavior is aggressive, disruptive, or alters the fundamental nature of a service, or if the animal poses a direct threat to the health or safety of others, the handler will be required to remove the animal from college property immediately.
