Emotional Support Animals that are not trained service animals are not allowed to accompany persons with disabilities on college campuses. Emotional support animals are not individually trained to perform specific work or tasks. Providing emotional support, well-being, or comfort does not constitute “work” or “tasks” for the purposes of the definition of “service animal.” Therefore, an ESA is not a Service Animal under the ADA. Emotional support animals are permitted in college residential facilities according to college policies and the Fair Housing Act. A person with an emotional support animal should follow existing college policies when bringing an emotional support animal to those facilities.
