To provide an effective learning environment, a safe and healthy campus, and to prevent damage to buildings and grounds, Lower Columbia College does not allow pets in college buildings unless for an approved instructional purpose. A pet is an animal kept for ordinary use and companionship and does not include a Service Animal or an approved Emotional Support Animal (See Policy 655). Lower Columbia College allows pets on college grounds for brief and infrequent duration, so long as any pet on college grounds is properly attended, leashed, and restrained. The handler is responsible for ensuring clean-up of all animal waste in a safe and sanitary manner.
