STUDENT TRAVEL PROCEDURES
I. Purpose The Community College of Allegheny County (CCAC) seeks to promote safe travel to College- sponsored events and activities occurring beyond the boundaries of College property. The College seeks to provide the safest opportunities and methods of transportation and to mitigate any risk that might be associated with student travel. The procedures set forth below will not apply to travel that is (1) not sponsored by the College; (2) undertaken by individual students attending out of town athletic/recreational events as a non-participant (except when traveling on behalf or with the financial support of a recognized student organization); or (3) undertaken by students who are engaging in internships, practicums, observations, off site work study or research. In addition, these procedures do not apply to international travel, which is governed by CCAC’s International Travel Procedures. Participants in travel that is not sponsored by the College are solely responsible for all planning, funding and other requirements associated with the trip. II. Definitions A recognized student organization is one that has been (1) approved or formally recognized by the College’s Department of Student Life; (2) formed for educational, professional, social, recreational or other lawful purposes; and (3) derives its membership solely from the student body of CCAC. College-sponsored travel means student travel and recognized student organization travel, including travel associated with or necessary to participate in specific events or activities, that (1) is initiated, actively managed, planned and arranged by a member of the College's faculty or staff or by members of a recognized student organization and approved by an appropriate administrator; or (2) receives substantial support from the College in the form of funding, facilities, equipment or personnel time. A currently enrolled student is a student who is currently registered at the College, whether on a full- or part-time basis, and who is 18 years of age or older. Active Member means a registered member of a recognized student organization per the bylaws of that specific organization. A student in good standing – as defined in the Student Handbook from both an academic and behavior standpoint. Any deviation needs to be approved by the Dean of Students for Student Engagement.
