Reminder: Note Lynn’s policy on pets and animals

Please note the following policy addressing pets and animals on campus:

2.3.3.14 Pets and Animals
The university reserves the right to require immediate removal of any pet from university property and to charge the individual hosting the animal for all costs incurred in removal of the pet(s) and  the costs associated with housing the pet. University staff and/or an outside agency can remove the pet at any time. Any cost associated with the possession of a pet (i.e. damaged furniture, cleaning, pest control, etc.) will be charged to the responsible individual(s).

In addition, the following guidelines shall be enforced:

1. With the exception of service animals (which must be documented with the ADA office on campus),
pets and animals are not permitted in offices, buildings, residence halls (with the exception of professional live-in staff with the approval of vice president of student life), Lynn University NCAA athletic events, or in any university facility.

2. In those rare circumstances where a pet is allowed on campus grounds (e.g., Take Your Dog to Work Day), the pet must be on a leash, under control of the owner, and present no hazard to people.  Its owner shall not regard the wearing of a muzzle by a dog as control. Further, dogs may never be tethered on campus.

3.   Pets must have a valid license and tags as evidence of current rabies vaccinations.

4.   Strays shall be reported to Campus Safety.

Feeding stray animals (i.e. ducks, rabbits, raccoons, cats, dogs, etc.) is a health and safety hazard and is prohibited.
