Abstract
Students with disabilities who have service dogs or emotional support animals sometimes work part‐time for their schools as paid employees. During work, it is their status as employees, not as students, that determines their right to job‐related accommodations, including claims to bring animals into their workplace. Whether work‐related accommodations for student employees fall within the purview of disability services offices or human resources offices, institutions should understand the differences in governing law. A summary of relevant federal law follows; state law may provide greater rights. For specific legal advice, consult school counsel.
