Do I need a chaperone for a University trip?

A student representative from the sponsoring organization must accompany the trip. The Office of Student Activities may require a University chaperone on certain trips, particularly on overnight trips. In these cases, the sponsoring organization is responsible for recruiting a full-time faculty or administrative staff member to serve as the University representative. Once approved, a signed waiver form detailing the potential risks of participation will be collected from each participant before departure. Waivers are available from the Student Activities Office and must be obtained in advance. Any groups conducting or sponsoring trips through other departments or programs must meet these requirements and any additional requirements of that department or program.
