Occidental College
Student Handbook
Pet Policy
Students are responsible for knowing the following:
To reduce health, safety and damage risks, animals are prohibited in the residence halls, except for: (1) helping pets (e.g., seeing-eye dogs), (2) fish in an aquarium no larger than 5 gallons, and (3) approved pets in professional staff apartments.
Any student in possession of a prohibited pet in the residence halls will be directed to remove the animal from campus and may be subject to disciplinary action and cleaning/extermination expenses. Students or guests with visiting pets, except those described above, must remain outside the residence halls. Dogs must be leashed and have current L.A. City licenses.
No animals may be tied to a tree or any other campus structure. Owners are expected to carefully guard and clean up after their animals. Failure to do so may result in a citation by Campus Safety.
