Permit Request • CampusOptics

To begin the approval process:

Read the UNT Animals on Campus Policy
Complete and submit this form at least ten business days before the event. All fields are required, use 'N/A' if not applicable.
You will receive a response within 5 business days
Print and display permit at the site during your event.

Insurance approval will be contingent on uploading the following:

**Applicant/Vendor shall provide evidence of general liability coverage, with limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence; $2,000,000 general aggregate; and $2,000,000 products/completed operations aggregate. The general liability policy shall name the University of North Texas, its Regents, employees and agents as Additional Insureds.

All animal activities conducted on UNT property must comply with applicable laws, regulations, and University policies. Animals must always remain under the control of a responsible, assigned handler, be in good health with current vaccinations, have access to appropriate shelter and care, and exhibit behavior that does not pose a risk to people or property. Owners and handlers are responsible for the immediate cleanup and proper disposal of animal waste and must promptly remove any animal displaying signs of stress, illness, aggression, or unsafe behavior. Additionally, Risk Management Services reserves the right to restrict animal activities to specific locations, impose additional conditions, or revoke approval if health, safety, animal welfare, or operational concerns arise.

An approval through this process only applies only to the request for animals and shall not be construed as approval for the event. It is the responsibility of the requestor to identify and obtain other required approvals.
