With limited exceptions, Northern Michigan University prohibits animals in University buildings, including University housing.

Northern Michigan University seeks to accommodate persons with disabilities who prove they need an animal's presence in a University building (including housing) to accommodate a physical or mental/emotional disability. However, as the University is also responsible for protecting the general University community's health and safety interests, this Policy is intended to fairly address all parties' concerns.

The please read the full NMU policy on Animals as Disability Accommodation before contacting NMU Disability Services.
