Children on Campus

Policy No: CP010

Policy Statement

The Fashion Institute of Technology provides a safe and effective learning environment for all students and a healthy, safe, and effective workplace for all faculty and staff. FIT understands that, occasionally, parents, legal guardians, or other adults responsible for children may have a legitimate need to bring children onto campus. This policy addresses the circumstances and restrictions upon bringing children onto campus to maintain a healthy, safe, and effective working and learning environment. 

This policy does not apply to activities which, by their very nature, are designed to be attended by children. It is assumed, however, that children in such circumstances are attending these activities under the supervision of an instructor or other authorized adult or are otherwise enrolled in an FIT program designed for children.  Please see FIT’s Child Protection and Mandatory Reporting of Abuse policy regarding children in FIT programs or activities.
