Guidelines for Children in the Workplace and/or Classroom
These guidelines address and outline the circumstances under which it is appropriate to bring non-student, minor children to the workplace or classroom. The guidelines are intended to foster respect for the needs of all parties impacted by the presence of non-student, minor children on the campus, in the workplace or in the classroom. In general, the workplace and the classroom are typically not appropriate places for non-student, minor children to be present on a frequent or continuing basis and their presence should be established in a discussion between the employee and supervisor or the student and instructor, respectively. Take into account the following exceptions and factors:
-
In the event of an emergency, and if there are no other alternatives, parent students may have children present in the classroom for brief periods of time provided the parent obtains the instructor’s prior approval.
-
The parent agrees to assume responsibility for the child at all times and ensure that the child’s presence does not disrupt his or her work or interfere with the workplace or classroom activities.
-
Adult supervision during officially sponsored institutional programmatic activities, brief visits to introduce child to co-workers, special occasions at which attendance by children is encouraged.
-
Minor children are not permitted as visitors in work or classroom areas where safety and/or confidentiality factors exist unless prior permission from an appropriate University authority is obtained (for example, high risk areas, indoors or outside, containing power tools or machinery with exposed moving parts or rotating equipment).
