Service Animals

As per federal/ provincial guidelines, Grenfell Campus Student Housing will uphold a student’s right to live on-campus with a documented Service Animal. We ask that students notify us in advance of arriving with a Service Animal to allow time for an appropriate room space/ roommate to be reserved.

Students requiring accommodations with their documented Service Animal are asked to Apply Online. 

Emotional Support Animals

Support animals are prescribed by a healthcare or mental health professional to play an integral part in the provision of emotional support, comfort or therapy and/or treatment process for an individual. A support animal is not a service animal and does not require individual training or certification to perform any disability-related task.
