Travel Policy

For any event or competition, all students are required to leave from campus and return to campus with your students and team. Our responsibility for the health and safety prohibit traveling in your own vehicles to or from an event or contest. Special travel arrangements may be made in consultation with your sponsor or coach under extenuating circumstances such as: (1) parents coming to the event and wishing to have you accompany them; (2) students driving their own vehicle for personal reasons cannot be accompanied by another student. In this case, arrangements must be made in advance and requested on the proper form.

In case of a student who does not want to return from an event the following steps must be followed: (1) talk to the student about the consequence of not returning with the group or team; (1) call the Vice President or Director of Athletics in your area immediately; (3) call the local police to start the process of a missing person; (4) inform the Dean of Students; (5) inform the Director of Housing; (6) inform the President of the University.

The University requires the student and parent to sign a release and waiver form for travel. The release and waiver form must be signed by the sponsor or coach, Vice President and/or Director of Athletics.

Injured Athletes Travel Policy

Student-athletes who are unable to participate in varsity/junior varsity event/competition due to an injury, as evaluated by sports-medicine staff, will not be allowed to travel if they will miss class time at any point during the travel event. To get approval for an injured player to travel to an away game the athletic director must sign off one week in advance.
