Large personal pets, such as dogs and cats, will not be maintained in the dormitories or classrooms. Small contained animals, such as fish or hamsters, may be allowed in the classrooms or dormitories only with prior approval, respectively, from the Residential Director or the Principal.
Students 16 years and older who have been approved by a dog guide school for training or who already have a dog guide must, upon referral for admission, obtain approval from the Principal for maintaining the dog on campus. The Principal will approve the maintenance of a dog guide on campus if the student is able to demonstrate an ability to manage and care for the dog independently.
Students with dog guides are responsible for adhering to any procedure governing the maintenance of dog guides on campus and for costs associated with the maintenance of the dog. Failure to follow the procedure may result in loss of permission to maintain the dog guide on campus.
