The University of Exeter grounds and estate are private property.\u00a0 We are, however, currently pleased to be able to grant the public permitted access.<\/p>\n

This arrangement is extended to permit visitors to bring their dogs with them onto campus.\u00a0 This is on the clear understanding that:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Dogs are kept on leads in all areas on campus<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Owners remove any mess the dogs may create when visiting our campuses<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The open spaces that the University maintains have National Botanic Garden status and are recognised as amongst the highest quality of any UK university.\u00a0 They remain primarily a resource for students and staff but we are happy to share these with visitors and locals who respect the grounds and the access restrictions.<\/p>\n

    Some of our students are nervous around dogs.\u00a0 There is extensive biodiversity on campus and dogs off leads, even when well trained, have potential to disrupt wildlife.<\/p>\n

    It is also well established that there is a link between dog faeces and infections such as Toxicara, which can lead to blindness.<\/p>\n

    The University will be promoting, in conjunction with Keep Britain Tidy and Dog\u2019s Trust the \u2018Be a Scooperhero\u2019 campaign to recognise those who already lift, bag and bin dog faeces and encourage others to appreciate the impact if they do not.<\/p>\n

    \"Poo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    The University can ban dog owners from its campuses and report regular offenders to the Local Authority who can issue fines.\u00a0 We hope this will continue to be a rare occurrence.\u00a0 We do, however, reserve the right to ban all dogs from campus if we feel risks are not managed.<\/p>\n

    We would like to take this opportunity to remind all dog owners who wish to enjoy the grounds with their dogs that they should be a \u2018Scooperhero\u2019 and:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Keep dogs on a lead<\/li>\n
    2. Bring bags with you when you set off on your walk<\/li>\n
    3. Bag the mess, if your dog has fouled<\/li>\n
    4. Bin the bag<\/li>\n
    5. Clean your hands<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Thanks to all the dog owners who are already \u2018Scooperheroes\u2019 when they visit the University of Exeter grounds.\u00a0 We hope we can continue to welcome you and your dogs.<\/p>\n
