REGULATION RE: SUPERVISION OF CHILDREN ON CAMPUS

In accordance with the provisions of the Child Welfare Services, the Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act (California Penal Code Sections 11164 through 11174.3), and the need of the College to maintain an educational environment that is not disrupted, the following guidelines concerning minor children will be followed:

1. Children ages 0-15 should not be left alone on campus without adult supervision.

2. Children ages 16-18 who are enrolled under the provision of the Board of Trustees Policy No. 502, "Enrollment of Minors," can be on campus as long as they do not violate the provisions of the Student Code of Conduct and are making satisfactory academic progress.

3. Children who are on campus without adult supervision should be reported to the Security Office or to the Office of the Vice President of Student Services for referral to Child Protective Services.

4. In emergency situations such as health, child abuse, neglect, or exploitation, these children should be reported directly to either Child Protective Services or the Humboldt County Sheriffs' Office. A written report of such incidents should be made to the Vice President of Student Services.

These are general guidelines only. They may be modified given the particular situation in question, but in no instance should children be on campus without adult supervision.
