Programs with Minors for Special Events

Programs Involving Minors as it applies to Special Events 

Purdue University encourages programs and activities that enhance learning and stimulate creativity in youth. The success of these programs depends on careful planning that makes safety the highest priority. These procedures reinforce the safety of minors by requiring all programs that include minors as participants to be registered with the University. Registration includes certification by the sponsor of the program that all steps outlined in these procedures have been completed. 

Sponsors of programs are not limited by these procedures from developing more stringent requirements for their program staff. Similarly, units of the University that serve other units and third parties in facilitating programs (e.g., Purdue Extended Campus, Purdue Fort Wayne Division of Continuing Studies, Intercollegiate Athletics) may supplement these procedures with additional requirements.
