The Protection and Safety of Minors
Washington State University (WSU) is committed to providing a safe environment for minors participating in university-sponsored programs and programs held in or on university-owned or controlled property. Risk Management (RM) oversees the policy and its guidelines to support that mission and ensure compliance. The minors’ safety program applies to youth not enrolled in WSU classes.
Section 5.1 requires registration for all programs involving minor participants at least 30 days before the program start date, per WAC 246-376-020. Registration is also required annually by calendar year, from January 1st to December 31st.
Programs such as WSU Extension and 4-H may submit a request to Risk Management to register their programs once per calendar year.
