Pets

Pets, including but not limited to, dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, and reptiles, are prohibited from all residence halls except those approved by the Director of Residence Life to reside in Kroeze Hall. Residents must complete all forms through the Director of Residence Life prior to bringing an animal to campus and pay a fee each semester. The Office of Student Affairs reserves the right to require removal of the animal if the student does not adhere to the policies. Fish are allowed but must be housed in a 10-gallon or less tank and taken home over semester breaks. The University will not be held responsible for the safety of fish in the event of electrical power failures. When a pet is discovered, the animal must be removed immediately. Students and their roommates who have an unapproved pet or animal found in their residence are subject to the following fines: $300 for the first offense and $500 for the second offense, per pet or animal. Animals required by a resident for health purposes must be approved through Disability Services in the Registrar’s Office prior to the animal arriving in a residence hall.
