GUESTS AND CHILDREN ON CAMPUS POLICY

The University allows children, (minors under 18, under the total and direct supervision of their parents/legal guardians) to accompany their parents/legal guardians to very limited areas within the University. These limited areas are listed in Administrative Office Visits of this policy. Children who are ill should not be brought to the campus. Children must always be in the immediate presence of their parent/guardian including in restrooms and all common areas of the University. Parents of disruptive children will be asked to leave University property immediately. Hitting, slapping, or yelling at a child while on University property is not permitted. Faculty and staff that see a child

being abused should contact Campus Security immediately. Florida law requires any individual who suspects that a child has been abused by any person to report that to the Florida Abuse Hotline. Any allegations a child was abused or neglected by a caregiver will be investigated by the Department of Children and Families, while allegations of child abuse by someone other than a caregiver will be accepted at the Hotline and immediately transferred electronically to the appropriate local law enforcement agency where the child lives. Guests on campus must first stop by the Reception Desk for a visitor’s pass to be worn prominently for the purpose of security and safety.
