Service Animal Exclusion Areas
Service animals and service animals in training are generally allowed wherever members of the public or program participants are allowed access. However, WSU maintains some facilities where the presence of a service animal/service animal in training may represent a direct threat to the safety of people or property or would constitute a fundamental alteration to the nature of the program. For these facilities, WSU may implement a Service Animal Exclusion Area. Such a designation must be approved by the Service Animal Administrator following the process outlined in Executive Policy 39, the WSU Service and Support Animal Policy.
