在特定情况下，newbb电子平台可以拒绝申请住宿.

Assistance Animals

newbb电子平台政策.第120条禁止个人在任何类型的大学宿舍内饲养除鱼以外的动物, 除非有例外情况. 辅助动物提供帮助，以减轻一种或多种已确定的残疾症状或影响. Ohio University recognizes the importance of allowing assistance animals necessary to provide individuals with disabilities an equal opportunity to use and enjoy university housing.

辅助动物不一定需要训练，也不限于任何特定类型的动物. An assistance animal is restricted to the owner’s privately assigned individual living accommodations and may not accompany the resident to other areas of the university without permission except to the extent the individual is taking the animal out for natural relief.
 

大学宿舍的服务性动物

Service animals are dogs or miniature horses that are individually trained to perform specific tasks or do work for a person with a disability. 而服务性动物则被允许在公共设施中陪伴残疾人, individuals seeking to reside with their service animal in university housing are asked to work with Accessibility Services or ECRC, as applicable, 确保动物健康状况良好，并安排适当的安置.

请求援助动物作为住宿

希望申请辅助动物的学生应跟随 无障碍服务要求住宿的一般程序.

An employee seeking an assistance animal as an accommodation in university housing for themselves or an individual living with the employee should contact Office of University Accessibility.

No assistance animal may be kept in Ohio University-owned housing at any time prior to the individual receiving approval as a reasonable accommodation pursuant to this Policy.

Ohio University, 在与居民协商后, and other parties, as appropriate, may consider the criteria below in determining whether the presence of the animal is reasonable in the making of housing assignments for individuals with assistance animals:

• 该动物是否对该个人或他人构成或过去曾构成直接威胁;
• 动物是否造成或者已经造成超出合理损耗的房屋过度损坏;
• 动物的体型是否太大，以致无法容纳;
• 动物的出现是否会迫使另一个个体离开自己的住所(例如.g. serious allergies);
• Whether the animal's presence otherwise violates individuals' right to peace and quiet enjoyment; and
• 该动物是否不守家规或无法与他人合理生活.

The individual must provide written consent for Accessibility Services to disclose information regarding the request for and presence of the assistance animal to those individuals who may be impacted by the presence of the animal including, but not limited to, 住房和居住生活, Facilities Management, 应急响应人员和潜在的和/或实际的室友/邻居. Such information shall be limited to information related to the animal and shall not include information related to the individual’s disability. Ohio University reserves the right to assign an individual with an assistance animal to a single room without a roommate upon availability.

批准一种辅助动物在学年期间是有益的. 如果学生或员工要返回校园住一学年, 个人必须按照适用的流程寻求批准的续期, i.e. 无障碍服务或大学无障碍办公室.
