The administration at Cape Cod Community College understands that because there are times when a student is confronted with whether or not to attend classes due to an emergency child care issue, it is sometimes necessary to bring children to campus. The College does not generally prohibit you from bringing your children on campus as long as they are under your supervision at all times. If it is not possible for them to be under your direct supervision, then a friend or guardian should be designated to ensure their supervision. Be aware, however, that College staff and faculty members responsible for specific College areas reserve the right to exclude infants and children from that area when, in their best judgment, it is in the interest of health, safety, or the educational process. Cape Cod Community College cannot be responsible for the care and supervision of unattended children. College Police will be asked to locate and return to the custody of the parent any unattended children.
