Minors on Campus
To ensure the safety of the University community and visitors on campus, the University of Pittsburgh has certain expectations and requirements for camps, conferences, and programs that involve minors. If organizers plan to have minors attend their camp, conference, or program, then they should register all minors through the University of Pittsburgh's Human Resources Program Registration Portal.
Contact Conference Services if you would like more information about our minors only accommodations.
Note: The University of Pittsburgh is unable to allow any camp, conference, or program involving minors to take place until the above process is complete. All camp, conference, and program employees or volunteers are not permitted to have contact with associated minors until ProVerify has reviewed and approved each individual to do so.
Human Resources Clearances for Groups with Minors
If you are an internal Pitt client hosting a camp/program with minors attending, you must register your conference/camp at https://www.hr.pitt.edu/clearances-training/programs Once you receive your finalized roster back with the go ahead from ProVerify, we will need a copy before your group's arrival. Without a copy of the approved roster your group will not be allowed to stay on campus.
If you are external to Pitt hosting a camp/program with minors attending, please contact Margaret Gorman at summerconferences@pitt.edu for further assistance regarding the clearance process.
Regardless of if you are an internal or external camp/program, clearances for camps/programs with minors require all Pennsylvania clearances (FBI, ChildLine, PATCH).
- If you or another chaperone are from out of state, here are the directions for FBI clearances: FBI Out of State Clearance Directions
All minor groups will BE HOUSED in one residence Hall on campus with a 24-hour security guard at the entrance. Groups with Minors will need Chaperones/Resident Assistants who will live on the same floor as the minors. The Chaperones/Resident Assistants will need to be at least 19 years old. You will need to have one Chaperone/Resident Assistant per ten students. Please keep in mind that these people need to be in place when the students are in the residence hall. When hiring your staff and making schedules please keep in mind if staff is considered off or needs to run a student off campus your rations still must be correct for the number of students you have in the building.
