Off-campus travel can be an important learning tool for students and the university supports student off-campus trips. However, these trips must be planned and conducted in ways that promote the safety of student participants. The university must also operate within state liability guidelines.

All student organization travel and off-campus events must be approved through the Office of Student Involvement and Leadership in accordance with campus policies for off-campus events and campus requirements for all student groups to register their activities. Only Bridgewater State University students, faculty, staff and authorized guests may participate in student organization sponsored trips. Alcohol will not be permitted on buses or other vehicles on university trips. For specific information regarding off-campus events, please consult the Student Organization Handbook online at www.bridgew.edu/SIL/.
