| Waiver and Off-Campus Activity Guidelines | |

On any college campus it is beneficial to have social or academic activities in which students will participate which pose greater danger than a traditional classroom or lecture setting. Whenever these activities are controlled by or organized by University Staff or Faculty a duty of care is created which may result in liability on the University. In order to best protect the University and employees certain protocols should be followed to determine whether the activity should be done; what can be done to avoid danger; and what disclosures or waivers should be obtained to show the student understands all the risks. This session will address the when and why of waivers and address some of the protocols in place on campus. |
