The following guidelines are in place to help ensure that all con-goers have fun at Wildcat Comic Con. Please read and understand these policies. Contact us with questions for clarification.
Possible sanctions for not observing these guidelines include, but are not limited to: verbal warning, removal from event, revocation of convention badge, and/or removal from the Penn College Campus, by authority of Penn College Police.
Badges and/or color-coded wrist bands must be in plain sight at all times.
ANYTHING illegal outside the Penn College campus is illegal inside the Campus. All federal, state, and local laws apply and supersede any guidelines the Wildcat Comic Con has in place.
The Wildcat Comic Con or Pennsylvania College of Technology is not liable for any injuries, should they occur.
Attendees are required to register for the Comic Con in advance. Registrations are nonrefundable and nontransferable.
Minors at Wildcat Comic Con
Wildcat Comic Con welcomes attendees of all ages. Children 12 and under are admitted free with a registered adult. A parent or guardian must accompany a child under the age of 13 at all times. Underage children must carry some form of identification along with contact information of their parent or guardian.
All unaccompanied attendees age 17 or younger as of April 13, and 14, 2012, must have a parental consent form on file with Wildcat Comic Con in order to attend the conference. The Parental Consent Form may be mailed or dropped off at the College within two weeks of registration. Wildcat Comic Con will NOT admit any minors without a parental consent form on file.

Photographs
By purchasing a registration ticket, attendees 18 or over (or under 18 with parental consent form) of Wildcat Comic Con are granting permission to be photographed or recorded by authorized Wildcat Comic Con or Penn College staffers. Such photos or recordings may be used for promotional or archival purposes.
Attendees may take photos on campus and in open areas but may not block traffic. Cameras are NOT permitted in any event where they will cause a distraction or interfere with presentations and viewings. Photography is NOT permitted in the Artist Alley.
Proper procedure for taking a picture of a cosplayer/attendee is to ask for permission first and then find a suitable spot to take the picture. If a person declines the request, the photo may not be taken.
Book Signings and Autographs
Authors, illustrators, and other presenters will be happy to offer autographs at assigned times. They can sign their books, artwork, or your Wildcat Comic Con program, as well as any officially licensed merchandise.
Given time constraints and personal schedules, the Wildcat Comic Con cannot guarantee a book signing or autograph.
Disruptive Behavior
The Wildcat Comic Con is a family friendly convention (PG-13). We ask that our attendees act accordingly. The following actions are considered disruptive behaviors:
The above list is not all-inclusive. If a Wildcat Comic Con or Penn College staffer asks a reasonable request of you, please follow their request to avoid College Police involvement.
Sign Guidelines
Only signs that are an integral part of a cosplay are acceptable. Signs that could be considered solicitation are not permitted. Signs with inappropriate messages will be confiscated.
Weapons and Props
Weapons are NOT permitted on the campus of Pennsylvania College of Technology. Any person found with a weapon will be asked to remove it from the campus and may be escorted off campus by Penn College Police.
NO LIVE STEEL. Metal or metal-containing weapons of any sort are not allowed on the premises.
NO GUNS of any kind are permitted. This includes airsoft guns with orange tips.
