The 2027–28 housing application opens November 16
Texas A&M Galveston Campus Living & Learning lists November 16, 2026, at 9 a.m. Central as the opening of its Fall 2027–Spring 2028 housing application. The university says space is subject to availability and housing is not guaranteed. Check the live campus housing page for updates before applying.
The accommodation review is a separate step
Texas A&M Disability Resources describes a two-step process for on-campus ESAs. First, submit an accommodation request and supporting information to Disability Resources. If the request is approved, complete the separate review and registration steps with the campus housing office. The university says both approvals are required before an ESA may move into on-campus housing.
Complete Galveston housing registration
After the accommodation review, the Galveston Campus Living & Learning Assistance Animal Registration Form asks for animal information and supporting items such as a City of Galveston license or equivalent, health records and an animal photo. The form says staff will contact the student after the form and listed documentation are submitted. Follow the current housing portal instructions and wait for confirmation before bringing the animal to campus housing.
What to confirm with the university
Ask Disability Resources which current request form and supporting information apply to your circumstances. Ask Campus Living & Learning when to complete the animal registration, what documents it currently needs and how to submit them securely. Requirements may differ by campus, so use the Galveston campus instructions.
A planning checklist
- Check the current housing application date and apply through the university portal.
- Submit the accommodation request through Disability Resources.
- After its review, follow the Galveston housing office registration instructions.
- Keep copies and dates of submissions, and wait for both university decisions before making move-in plans around the animal.
ESA housing and service-dog access are different
An ESA housing accommodation does not by itself allow an animal in classrooms, dining areas or other campus spaces. A trained service dog is evaluated under a different access framework. Review the university rules for each setting. Read our Texas college housing guide and Texas A&M student housing guide for more campus-focused information.
Texas Service Animals evaluations and verification
A licensed clinician makes an independent decision about whether an evaluation or documentation is clinically appropriate; documentation is not guaranteed. Texas A&M makes its own accommodation and housing decisions.
For legitimate third-party housing verification after documentation is issued, Texas Service Animals coordinates support at no additional fee. Standard processing applies, and expedited completion is not guaranteed.
