The University of North Texas is committed to providing people with disabilities who
use service and comfort animals the opportunity to receive the benefit of the tasks
these animals provide or the therapeutic support they offer in accordance with the
requirements of federal law. The following guidance is in accordance with UNT Policy 04.026. The information provided is generally for students with disabilities in relation
to their academic and campus activities.
If a UNT staff member (student, hourly, full-time, faculty, etc.) wishes to learn
more about their rights to have an accommodation of an animal on campus grounds, they
should contact UNT System's Workplace Accommodation Administrator.
