Service Animals
Service animals assisting individuals with disabilities are generally permitted in all facilities and programs on Madison College campuses.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Wisconsin law define a service animal as a dog or other animal individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Examples include, but are not limited to:
- guiding individuals who are blind
- alerting individuals with a hearing loss to sounds
- alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure
- pulling a wheelchair
- retrieving dropped items
Although emotional support and comfort animals are not considered service animals under the ADA, they may be considered as a necessary accommodation under Section 504.
