华体会体育服务动物、情感支持动物和校园宠物
佩珀代因大学 is committed to providing reasonable accommodations to qualified students with disabilities. This policy provides the circumstances where students will be allowed to have service or support animals while ensuring safety for all members of the Pepperdine community. Except as provided herein, animals at Pepperdine are subject to the requirements of the Animals on Campus policy found in 大学政策手册第37条.
术语
A 宠物 is an animal sufficiently tame to live with a family which is kept and cared for as a companion. Pets are not allowed in residence halls or buildings on any Pepperdine campus. A 服务的动物 is trained for a specific task related to a disability. Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, and alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, among others. 服务性动物是工作动物，不是宠物。 An 情感支持动物 (ESA) provides general support for diagnosed mental illness. These animals provide emotional or other support to ameliorate one or more identified symptoms or effects of a person's disability. 和服务性动物一样，esa不是宠物。 Unlike service animals, ESAs are not required to be trained to perform work or tasks that are important to the independence or safety of their disabled handler. Their therapeutic support is a function of their presence and interaction with the person with a disability.
什么动物可以成为ESA？
While ESAs are not 宠物s, they typically are animals commonly kept in households as
宠物s. An ESA may be a dog (most common), cat, small bird, rabbit, hamster, gerbil,
fish, turtle, or other small, domesticated animal that is traditionally kept in the
home for pleasure. Under guidelines from HUD, reptiles (other than turtles), barnyard
animals, monkeys, and other non-domesticated animals are not considered common household
animals. Exceptions to these guidelines regarding animals serving as ESAs will be
considered on a case-by-case basis.
Pepperdine will consider a request by an individual with a disability for reasonable accommodation from this prohibition to allow an ESA that is reasonable and necessary because of a mental health disability. However, no ESA may be kept in University housing at any time prior to the individual receiving approval as a reasonable accommodation pursuant to this Policy. Any requests for animals in residence for individuals with disabilities that are neither 服务的动物s nor ESAs should be directed to the Office of 学生可访问性 (OSA).
The question in determining if an ESA will be allowed in University housing is whether or not the ESA is necessary because of the individual’s disability to afford the individual an equal opportunity to use and enjoy University housing and its presence in University housing is reasonable. However, even if the individual with a disability establishes necessity for an ESA and it is allowed in University housing, an ESA is not permitted in other areas of the University (e.g. dining facilities, libraries, academic buildings, athletic buildings and facilities, classrooms, labs, individual centers, etc.).
记录服务性动物
While notice of a 服务的动物 is optional, the University asks that you go through the accommodation application process with OSA if you will frequent campus or will reside in the residence halls. This allows the office to notify professors and the Department of 公共安全 if needed. The 服务的动物 is able to be with you anywhere on campus.
申请住宿的步骤如下。 住校学生还需要完成其他步骤。 Please note: These steps should be completed prior to the animal moving into the residence halls.
