CHILDREN IN THE CLASSROOM and on CAMPUS
Children are not permitted in the classroom, lecture room, or laboratory at any time that
instruction is taking place. A child’s presence in the classroom can be a distraction to the
professor, to other class members, and even to the parent and could expose the child
to injury. Children are not permitted on campus except during college-sponsored events.
When children are on campus, they must be supervised at all times.
