2. A resident of the university residence hall may maintain a small aquarium with fish.  No other pets or animals may be maintained in the residence hall.

 

3. An employee, office or department may maintain a small aquarium with fish. No other pets or animals may be maintained in an office or department. 

 

4. Persons desiring to bring other animals, including pets, in the university must obtain the prior approval through the Director of the Facilities Services.  A request for approval for the presence of animals should include the type, number, reason, time on campus, and justification.  Current residence hall rules/regulations permit small aquariums with fish only, not small animals.
