Memorial Library Animal Policy

Service Dogs Are Allowed in Memorial Library

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a service animal is defined as: “a dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability. The task(s) performed by the dog must be directly related to the person’s disability.”

All service animals are permitted in every campus building so long as they are with their handler and leashed.

Emotional Support and Companion Animals are Not Allowed

Although Emotional Support Animals are allowed in a Berry College student’s place of residence, they are not allowed in other academic buildings. The ADA does not define Emotional Support Animals as service animals.
