College & Building Policies
Support Animals in College Spaces
Due to health and safety concerns, Service Animals are generally not permitted in restricted areas on campus, including:
- Research laboratories
- Classrooms/Labs with research/demonstration animals
- Areas where protective clothing is required
- Wood and metal shops
- Rooms with heavy machinery
- Food preparation areas
- Areas outlined in state law as being inaccessible to animals
Exceptions may be granted on a case-by-case basis by contacting the College of Life Sciences Safety and Compliance Coordinator (rscholl@byu.edu). The person responsible for the restricted area has the final decision-making authority on whether to admit a Service Animal into the restricted area.
