Emotional Support Animal Policy (PDF)
While we strive to provide comprehensive support for our students' well-being, we currently do not offer assessments for diagnosing psychological disabilities warranting an Emotional Support Animal (ESA) prescription. Consequently, WCHC and WCCC do not schedule appointments for ESA documentation at this time.
Services at other California State Universities
As per Executive Order 943, any CSU Chico student eligible for services at CSU Chico is also eligible for services at any other CSU.
