Policies 7.17 and  7.19, Revised January 2013

SERVICE ANIMALS

It is the policy of the Sonoma County Junior College District to permit students, faculty, staff and community visitors with disabilities to be accompanied by service animals in District facilities and on District campuses. The purpose of this policy is to ensure that individuals with disabilities can participate in and benefit from District services, programs and activities, and to ensure that the District does not discriminate on the basis of disability.

A disability is defined as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities of an individual; a record of having such an impairment, or being regarded as having such an impairment.

Service animals are defined as dogs, or in limited specific circumstances, miniature horses, that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. The work or task must be directly related to the person’s disability.

Use of a service animal in public areas of campus facilities and property is allowed. When it is not obvious what service an animal provides, college officials may ask only two questions: (1) is the dog a service animal required because of a disability, and (2) what work or task has the dog been trained to perform.

Enrolled students wishing to be accompanied to class by a service animal on a regular basis as an accommodation are encouraged to request authorization from the Disability Resources Department.  Qualified students will be provided with an official Disability Resources Department Authorization for Academic Accommodation letter to present to their instructors indicating the authorized use of a service animal in class.

Enrolled students working as a service dog trainer must obtain an authorization letter from the Dean, Student Conduct, Disabled Students Programs & Services, or designee, in order to bring the dog  to class. All service animal procedures must be abided by for dogs-in-training. Dogs-in-training must wear an identifying vest.

It is unlawful for any person to knowingly and fraudulently represent himself or herself to be the owner or trainer of a service animal.
