Pets have the potential to challenge the safety and physical condition of the campus and residence halls. Pets other than fish in 10-gallon (or less) aquariums are not allowed in the residence halls at any time. Visiting animals must be kept outside and leashed. Pets are a problem inside a residence hall because of sanitation, pest control, allergies and noise. Any student or residence hall resident that disregards this policy will have to remove the pet immediately and will be subject to a daily $50 fine. Repeat offenders will pay $100 and animal control will be called to remove the pet.

Any dog or other domestic animal on university grounds must be in the control of their owners through the use of a lease or cage. Under no circumstances should animals be allowed to run loose or be tied to buildings, trees, bicycle racks, or other objects. Any infractions or complaints should be brought to the attention of Campus Safety.
