Conflicts or grievances related to disability accommodations should be discussed with the Disability Services Director, and if not resolved, can
be referred to the Class Dean for informal resolution or to the Office of Institutional Diversity and Equity as part of a more formal process.
Smith College's Service Animal Policy allows service dogs in all public areas of the campus. Students must register with disability services and
provide information about the student's disability and the nature of the tasks the animal provides in order to have an animal in the residence
halls.
Assistance, support, or therapy related animals may be considered as reasonable accommodation in the residence halls and requests will be
reviewed on a case by case basis. Students mst register with the Disability Services Office and provide appropriate medical documentation of
a disability, the functional challenges, and the animal's role in mitigating these difficulties. These animals are not allowed in classrooms or
public spaces where pets are not allowed.
More information about the Office of Disability Services can be found at www.smith.edu/ods.
