In accordance with the Fair Housing Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) service animals are allowed in student housing. (Under 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.) Under the Fair Housing Act (FHA) an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) is an animal that provides emotional support that alleviates one or more identified symptoms or effects of a person’s qualified disability. ESAs are not pets and are not considered service animals under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA); rather, they are animals that have been prescribed to provide necessary support or companionship to a person with a qualifying disability. Please contact LCAD Residence Life & Housing at housing@lcad.edu regarding Service Animals or Emotional Support Animals (ESA’s).

LCAD On Campus Housing

Supervised by the Office of Student Life and Resident Advisors, LCAD’s On-Campus Housing Program promotes communal living in a small apartment complex. Roommates and units will be assigned based on questions and requests on the Roommate Questionnaire. Assigned roommates will coordinate cleaning, grocery buying/sharing, cooking, decorating, carpooling, and the frequency of guests. This experience strengthens life skills such as adaptation, transition, and compromise. Residents are expected to maintain the highest level of conduct. Failure to comply with all LCAD rules and regulations will result in removal from the housing program, without compensation or refund.
