Dog Policy
For safety and health reasons, the presence of dogs on University of Rochester property is strictly prohibited. Specifically,
- Dogs will not be allowed on the River and Eastman campuses. This includes residence halls, fraternity houses or any campus-owned or controlled building.
- Exceptions will be allowed for the following reasons only: 1) the dog is a service dog individually trained to provide assistance to an individual with a disability or 2) special permission is obtained from the Office of the Dean of Students. Students who wish to have service dogs on campus regularly must provide documentation of their need.
The above conditions apply to all members of the University community, guests and visitors. Failure to comply with these guidelines will result in immediate removal of the pet and possible disciplinary or other action against the pet owner.
