Animals on Campus

University procedures for allowing animals on campus.

Introduction

The university values the diversity of its staff and students and is committed to providing and maintaining an environment that is welcoming for all. In line with the Equality Act 2010, the university works to identify the support needed and make reasonable adjustments for those with disabilities to promote and advance equality and provide a safe and inclusive place for work and study.

Emotional support dogs, therapy dogs or any other support animals are not protected in the same way under UK law and therefore will not be permitted. However, as part of an event, they may be considered subject to the appropriate assessments and documentation.
