In the normal course of college-related life, students engage in academic work or participate in a wide range of activities that take place at locations away from the college’s campus. Some of these activities may be directly related to an individual’s formal academic study, program or research. Other activities, such as athletics team travel and recreational and social events organized or sponsored by the college, relate to the out-of-classroom experiences of students.

To address the safety and well-being of college members participating in such activities, the Off-Campus Student Travel and Activities Policy was developed. The accompanying procedures and forms are designed to assist in the planning and safe execution of all off-campus activities. Examples of activities covered under this policy are:

  • Travel study trips
  • Field trips (during or outside of regular class time)
  • Team sports
  • Conference/festival attendance
  • Exchange programs

If you are unsure about whether this policy applies to a specific activity, please consult your Sector Dean or the Director of Student Services.

Policy & Procedure

Off-Campus Student Travel and Activities Policy
Recognizing that increasing numbers of students are involved in off-campus activities, the College wishes to encourage those activities and ensure that they are conducted in the safest possible manner. To that end, the College has adopted an institutional policy that will regulate all college-sponsored off-campus activities involving students.

Off-Campus Student Travel and Activities Procedures
These Procedures and Guidelines are designed to assist in the planning and safe execution of off-campus activities. While these procedures provide requirements and parameters for a number of particular situations, it should be recognized that no set of procedures can address every possible contingency.
