     Hello Ms. Grocer,I may be wrong, but the school's housing, would fall under the FHA. If so, you may need to submit a written reasonable accomodation request to have your Service Dog with you as you would with any landlord. The legal beagles on the list can correct me if I'm incorrect on that.One clarification that I would like to offer.If you are in the U.S. and your Service Dog was trained in the U.S. then it is not certified. 1.  The law does not require it.2.  The law does not recognize it.
Your Mileage May Vary

Hello, All:

This summer, I will be attending a young artist professional 
fellowship which will take place at a music school.  It lasts for 
about three weeks, and I will be staying in the dorms there.  The 
person in charge of the program commented to me in an email that 
my guide dog may not be welcome in the housing facility, but she 
was not sure and would check; I wrote back and explained that my 
dog is a certified service dog and not an ESA.  I have not heard 
back as of yet.

Is anyone familiar with housing laws in private campuses as they 
relate to service dogs? I want to make sure I know my rights in 
case there is a problem.

Thank you, and all best!

Rachel
