 AnimalsSince residential buildings are not suited for most pets and animals can carry and transmit diseases, the only pets that we permit students to have in the residence areas at any time, other than service animals approved by the office of Disability Services, are: fish/crustaceans that live under water. All pets must be kept caged and in the owner’s student room/apartment at all times. Any pet or animal that causes a disturbance to the community, as determined by the RLC, must be removed from the residential facilities or hall staff may contact the Humane Society or appropriate organization. A disturbance to the community includes being out of a cage, causing damage, or causing a nuisance to neighbors. Damages caused by pets will be charged to their owners/caretakers. Students must dispose of pet droppings directly into the outside dumpsters. Due to the risk of animals carrying diseases, our department reserves the right to change this policy if needed to accommodate concerns for student health and safety. |
