Children on Campus

The administration at Bristol Community College understands that, in some circumstances, it may be necessary to bring children on 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 an adult friend or adult 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, college operations, or the educational process.

For example, children are normally not permitted in an academic class. Bristol Community College cannot be responsible for the care and supervision of unattended children. Bristol Police will be asked to locate the parent and return to his or her custody any unattended children.
