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.
