Animals in Campus Buildings

All students are welcome to enjoy the open spaces of our campus with their pets. All pets must be on a leash at all times. Pets that are off leash present the potential for an unpredictable situation to occur no matter how well trained they are, whether that is a dangerous/threatening situation or an “overly friendly” situation. Owners must take responsibility for their pet’s safe behavior. If a pet is behaving in an unsafe or unpredictable manner, the owner may be asked to remove the pet from the property. Owners should be aware that they will be held liable for any incident resulting from the unpredictable or unsafe behavior of their pet. Owners should also be aware that all pet waste must be picked up and disposed of in a proper trash receptacle. 


In addition, under no circumstances are any animals allowed in the buildings on Western Seminary property at any time, whether on a leash or not. Approved exceptions include service dogs (guide, signal, or other dog properly trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability as defined by applicable laws and regulations) and animals being used for instructional purposes in a classroom (not individual offices). All animals used for instructional purposes must be accompanied by a faculty member as long as the animal is in a building. Any additional exceptions must be approved by the Physical Plant Director.
