Because of important safety and liability issues, the presence of minors on
campus is strongly discouraged. Employees and students are advised that:
- Employees' minor-age children are not to be brought to the workplace.
At times when schools are closed or normal child care arrangements cannot be
used, employees are asked to make alternate arrangements for child care and
not allow their child to accompany them to work.
- The presence of students' dependent children on campus is discouraged.
Faculty have the authority to exclude children and non-student minors from
the classroom. Students are accountable for the provision of supervision
when their children are on campus. Parents of disruptive or unsupervised
children may be directed to remove them from campus.
- Under no circumstances are minors allowed in the gymnasium,
instructional laboratories, laboratory prep areas, or administrative
service areas (e.g., duplicating, mail room, craft shops).
- The College assumes no liability for any injury incurred by minors who
are not registered Community College of Philadelphia students while they
are on college property.
NOTE: This policy does not preclude children's participation in events
sanctioned by the College or the involvement of children in educational
activities specific to a curriculum.
