Assistance Animal
WMU has an Animals on Campus Policy governing assistance animals and emotional support animals. Sindecuse Health Center supports a Â鶹´«Ã½'s choice to pursue a comprehensive treatment plan with an established provider to gain the support they need.
The states that only professionals with comprehensive knowledge, skills, and attitudes regarding therapeutic human-animal interactions, animal-related behavior, and a thorough knowledge of the policies surrounding ESAs are operating within the scope of their practice when documenting a needs for ESAs.
None of the providers at Sindecuse Health Center have the specific skillset necessary to provide documentation for emotional support animals. As a result, Sindecuse Health Center primary care and Counseling Services providers do not provide ESA letters.
WMU Disability Services for Students determines and coordinates all accommodations on campus for Â鶹´«Ã½s through an interactive process. Please visit the DSS website for further information regarding DSS policies.
