Animals on Campus
ADA regulations state Service Animals are allowed to accompany individuals in all areas where employees or students are permitted, with rare exceptions for health and safety reasons. Emotional Support Animals and pets are not permitted in campus buildings, unless a qualified exception is approved by the Office of Disability Services as outlined in Policy IV.A.1.b. Animals may not be left in vehicles on College property. There are occasions when a student or employee may need to bring an animal with them for the purpose of meeting an educational objective. Such requests should be made to the appropriate academic Dean or to the Office of Disability Services (i.e., emotional support animals) prior to the animal being allowed inside WPCC’s buildings. Individuals who bring their pets to enjoy the WPCC’s grounds and trails must abide by the City of Morganton’s animal control ordinances.
