Dorm or student apartment, North Dakota campus housing falls under the Fair Housing Act — your animal can stay with you.

Residence halls and university apartments in North Dakota are generally subject to the Fair Housing Act, so a valid ESA letter obligates the school to consider your accommodation request — even where pets are banned. Each campus has its own paperwork and deadlines, so check with your housing or disability services office early.
The evaluation is fully online — fit it between classes from anywhere in North Dakota. Meet a licensed North Dakota mental health professional by phone or video, and if approved, your letter arrives in 10–15 minutes. Submit it with your housing request, keep copies, and follow up in writing.
Start the process weeks before move-in, time the letter to your housing application, talk to future roommates early, and keep expectations straight: ESA rights cover where you live, not lecture halls or labs.
