It is the policy of the college to require that all pets be attended, leashed, or properly restrained while on the campus grounds and under the direct physical control of their owner or custodian. No animal shall be permitted to run at large or be disruptive.
With the exception of service animals, animals are not allowed inside college buildings. Any person who requires the use of a service animal should be aware that the service animal must meet the DOJ (U.S. Department of Justice) guidelines. A service animal must be under the direct control of its owner at all times. The animal is subject to the campus code of conduct when working in a campus building. The handler is solely responsible for the maintenance and behavior of their service animal.
If you require more information or have any questions about resources please contact Access Services or the Security Department.
The owner is responsible for the cleanup and proper disposal of their animal's waste.
