In an effort to control animal waste and protect campus property, while still allowing the community to enjoy access to the beauty of the campus during an evening stroll, Tusculum College has established Pet Exercise Zones on its campus.
“Tusculum College allows pets on its campus under limited circumstances,” said Steve Gehret, vice president of finance and chief financial officer. “This policy applies both to the Tusculum College community and the general public.”
The college does permit pet owners to walk their pets on campus in designated Pet Exercise Zones. Animals are not permitted outside these designated areas or inside any Tusculum College building. Pets are not permitted at any game, practice field or stadium.
In an effort to better maintain the campus, pet owners are required to keep their animals within the confines of one of the two designated pet areas on campus, which include the area south of the Facilities Maintenance building called “the wetlands” and the area south of the Indoor Practice Facility Drive at the edge of Tusculum College property.
Any guide or signal dog individually trained to do work or perform tasks for a person with a disability, and the work is directly related to the individual’s disability, is an exception to these regulations, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Those visitors who choose to bring pets to campus must be cleared by the office of campus safety.
