Pets must not be left unattended while on University property, except as noted in paragraph II. Owners of pets shall be held responsible for any personal or property damage inflicted by their pets. Owners or caretakers of pets must clean up after their pets, using appropriate waste disposal equipment/supplies, at their own expense.
