Any programs, events, or activities that involve interactions with minors on University property, or University-sponsored programs or activities held at off-campus locations, must be registered with the University.

Registration is required annually and must be completed 30 days in advance of the program start date indicated on this registration form. This allows for adequate time to review the registration, conduct background checks, and complete training.

Once your registration is submitted, a member of the Youth Protection Oversight Committee will contact you regarding required background checks and training in order to comply with the University’s Youth Protection Policy.

  • If you are a student group, please visit the Campus Life website for details on registering your program or event through WUGO.
  • If you are faculty or staff, please use the form below.

If you have questions about this form or the Youth Protection Policy, please contact the Youth Protection Oversight Committee at youthprotection@wustl.edu.

Please note: any activity defined as an internship, research, or shadowing experience, either paid/unpaid, will need to be reviewed by Human Resources to ensure compliance with city, state, and federal employee laws. Programs that involve lab work may also be subject to review by the Office of Environmental Health and Safety based on guidelines included in the Policy on Minors in Laboratories.

A list of key definitions for using this form is available here.
