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

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 New Hampshire. Meet a licensed New Hampshire 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.
