Effective June 1, 2022, the campus has issued a revised Dogs/Animals on Campus Policy. Please contact Disability Access & Compliance for questions related to Animals as Accommodations (https://dac.berkeley.edu/resources/animals-accommodations).
The policy works in conjunction with City of Berkeley laws and takes into consideration the safety concerns, allergies, and cultural differences of our campus community.
