DO I HAVE TO COMPLY WITH POLICY 8.8, MEET WITH CYS AND REGISTER MY PROGRAM?

University Student Organizations (ITs)

Independent Student Organizations (EOs) 

On University Premises

YES

YES

Off University Premises

YES

NO*

*Independent Student Organizations conducting outreach programs off-campus are acting separately from Cornell University while doing so and are not governed by policy 8.8 while participating in this non-Cornell affiliated program. 

EOs are expected to follow the youth protection policies and procedures of the community partner they are working with.

What if our event is open to the public or to the Cornell Community and is not specifically targeted toward minors, but some minors may be in attendance?Registration and compliance are not required. Event organizers may always contact CYS for guidance and recommendations.
What about events/programs where minors will be chaperoned by a parent/guardian, teacher, Scout leader, or other adult chaperone?Contact CYS for guidance.

Contact CYS with questions at any time!
