Policy Text:

It is the policy of the university to permit service animals on campus to assist students, faculty, staff and visitors with disabilities. However, as a general rule, pets are not permitted on university property. Exceptions are stated below:

Residence Halls/Apartments/Houses: Pets are not permitted in university residence halls, apartments or houses except as stated in the UCA Student Handbook and as authorized by UCA Housing and Residence Life on a case-by-case basis.

Visitors: Other than service animals as noted above, pets must be accompanied by their owners and restrained by leash or pet carrier and properly licensed and tagged as required by local ordinances. If university officials determine that pets pose a risk to others, pet owners will be asked to remove their animals from campus.

Stray Animals: Stray animals that pose a threat to the health and safety of the university community will be removed from campus. Whenever possible, the university will work with the Faulkner County Humane Society to place stray animals in appropriate homes.
