Animal Policy
Animals, except for service animals, are not allowed on campus on game day. Anyone who brings an animal that is not a service animal will be asked to take it home.
A service animal is not a pet; rather, a service animal is an animal that is trained to perform tasks for an individual with a disability. The tasks may include, but are not limited to, guiding a person who is visually impaired or blind, alerting a person who is deaf or hard of hearing, pulling a wheelchair, assisting with mobility or balance, alerting and protecting a person who is having a seizure, retrieving objects, or performing other special tasks. If necessary, university or law enforcement officials may ask a person with an animal on campus what specific services the animal is trained to perform in order to determine its validity as a service animal.
Service Animal Requirements
• The owner of a service animal is responsible for the care and supervision of the service animal, as well as for any damage or injury caused by the service animal while on university property.
• Any animal brought on campus must be under constant physical restraint.
• If an animal disrupts the campus educational process, administrative process or other campus function, the owner or responsible party must remove the animal immediately.
• The owner or responsible party must immediately remove and properly dispose of any fecal matter deposited by an animal brought to campus.
• An animal left unattended in a vehicle or other area that is perceived to be in distress will be reported to the UCF Police Department for an appropriate response.
• Any person who leaves an animal unattended may be prosecuted.
• The abandonment of animals on any UCF campus is strictly forbidden.
