The policy of the University of Missouri-St. Louis (UMSL) generally welcomes service animals in its buildings, classrooms, residence halls, meetings, dining areas, recreational facilities, activities and events when the animal is accompanied by an individual with a disability.
UMSL will not permit service animals when the animal poses a substantial and direct threat to health or safety or when the presence of the animal constitutes a fundamental alteration to the nature of the program or service. UMSL will make those determinations on a case-by-case basis.
Information on the university's policy on service and emotional support animals can be found on the Health, Counseling & Disability Access Services' website.
Pets are strictly prohibited.
Requests to allow animals on campus for event purposes must obtain prior approval from the Event Services team. Please contact Event Services by email at eventservices@umsl.edu.
