Registration

The University of Michigan is striving to develop positive children’s programming by sharing best practices and centralized resources to ensure a positive experience for all.

The program and event registry provides information about university-sponsored programs and events that have addressed child safety in their planning and have complied with all the requirements of the policy.

The U-M requires that all university-sponsored programs or events involving children and teens be registered annually. Program administrators are responsible for ensuring all information is current for their listed program(s) or event(s). It is recommended that registration be completed no later than 60 days before the program or event start date.

Under certain circumstances, program registration requirements may be waived or modified by Risk Management Services or the appropriate office on the UM-Dearborn, UM-Flint and Michigan Medicine campuses. For additional information about waivers of the registration requirement contact Risk Management Services at childrenoncampus@umich.edu or 734-764-2200.
