Pet-friendly Housing - Explore Housing

Bring your pet along

Your pet is part of your family, and we want you both to feel at home at Northwest. Designated pet-friendly housing lets you share campus life with your companion.

Approved Pets

Only common household pets are allowed in Forest Village Apartments.

Cats (under 35 lbs and 18 inches)
Dogs (under 35 lbs and 18 inches)
Small birds
Hedgehogs
Hamsters

Gerbils
Guinea Pigs
Rabbits
Turtles

Fish housed in a tank no larger than 30-gallons are permitted in all residential facilities.

Pet Limits

To keep things cozy for everyone, here’s what you need to know about bringing pets to campus housing:

You can have one pet per resident
Apartments can have no more than two "non-caged" pets and up to three "caged" pets
Pets cannot outnumber the number of students living in an apartment unit

Planning to live with a roommate who also has a pet? Make sure you both agree and meet the guidelines before applying.

Pet-friendly Housing does not apply to students with disabilities using a service animal or an approved assistance animal (such as an emotional support animal). The use of these types of animals is governed by the Emotional Support Animal (ESA) Care and Conduct Agreement available in the Office of Residential Life.
