New Policy – Employee Pets on Campus

In dedication to the health and well-being of all our faculty and staff, a new policy, the Employee Pets on Campus Policy, is being added to the employee handbook.

The policy provides clarity regarding where and when pets are permitted and the expectations of pet owners, and it helps ensure the comfort of our colleagues. 

Under the new policy, only limited exceptions will be made to allow employees to bring their pet dogs into their office or any building on campus. 

If you would like to request a policy exception to permit your pet to come to work with you, please review the policy and discuss your request with your supervisor. 

If all conditions are met, a Bring Your Dog to Work Authorization and Release form must be submitted before bringing your pet to the office. Forms will be approved in limited circumstances based upon demonstrated need and frequency of requests. Approved releases will be maintained by Human Resources. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your supervisor, VP/Division Head, or Human Resources.
