Residence Hall Background Check Authorization FormResidence Hall Background Check Procedure

The Emotional Support Animal request process for the Olympic College Residence Hall is housed within Student Disability Services. Please follow the document below for step by step instructions as to beginning and completing that process. 

Requesting an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) on Campus

1. Eligibility

Students seeking to have an ESA in college housing or on the Olympic College campus must be enrolled with the college.  The student must have a documented disability recognized under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) that substantially limits one or more major life activities. The ESA must be part of a treatment plan by a licensed mental health professional with whom the student has an ongoing therapeutic relationship.

2. Request Process

Students must submit a request for an ESA to Student Disability Services (SDS), along with documentation from a licensed mental health professional outlining the need for the ESA.  Request can be made via the SDS online request system.  Requests should be made at least 20 days before the start of the quarter or as soon as the need for an ESA is identified.  If you need assistance completing your request, please visit the SDS office and we will assist you.

3. Documentation Requirements

Documentation must be dated and signed by a licensed mental health professional on official letterhead. It must confirm that the student is considered a person with a disability under the ADA, include the functional impact of the disability, and show the need for the ESA as part of the treatment plan.

4. Approval Process

SDS will review the request, documentation and discuss the request with the student to determine whether the student is eligible for an ESA.  If approved, the student will be notified and provided with information on ESA guidelines and responsibilities.  After approval, students must provide a statement of health from the ESA’s veterinarian, proof of vaccinations, and licensing as appropriate.  Students may not bring an animal into Olympic College housing or onto campus until SDS has approved them and has provided the above-mentioned documentation.

5. ESA Agreement

If the student is approved to bring their ESA to campus, the student must meet with the Director of SDS and the Resident Hall Manager (as applicable) to complete the ESA Agreement outlining handler responsibilities.  Approved students are not allowed to bring their ESA to campus until this is complete.

6. Renewal Process

Students with an approved ESA may be required to renew their request each academic year.  Renewal requests must include updated documentation from a licensed mental health professional.

7. Revocation of Approval

Approval for an ESA may be revoked if the ESA violates any guidelines or if the student no longer meets the eligibility criteria.

8. Appeals Process

Students have the right to appeal a decision regarding their ESA request.  Appeals should be made per the Student Disability Services grievance procedure.   

10. Compliance

Failure to comply with the ESA policy and guidelines may result in disciplinary action, including removal of the ESA from college housing.

Disclaimer

This policy is subject to change and may be updated as needed. Students are encouraged to review the most current version of the process on the college website or contact the housing office for the most up-to-date information.
