Service and 情感 Animals on Campus
San Jose State University recognizes that service animals help people with disabilities participate in everyday life, and that other animals can provide support or comfort. Service animals are generally allowed to accompany their handlers in any building or public space where their handlers are permitted. Students living in University 住房 have rights to emotional support animals (ESAs) under the Fair Employment 和住房法(FHA).

1 服务的动物 is a dog (or miniature horse) that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of a person with a disability, including physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual or other mental disabilities. A service animal may also be referred to as a guide dog or a signal dog. Service animals are trained to recognize and respond to a handler's need for specific service. Service animals are allowed on campus grounds, including university housing, classrooms and campus libraries. 服务性动物 must have current vaccinations, be well-groomed, trained, housebroken and under control. Service animals are protected by the ADA.
If a 服务的动物’s role is not apparent by observation, students may be asked:
- “Is that a service animal 因为残疾?”
- “What service/task does it perform for you?”
Students are not required to 向AEC注册 to have a service animal on campus. However, registration will allow AEC to provide notification to campus community as 适用的.
