Those participating or traveling to an off-campus activity are representing Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµÍø (CWI). Thus, it is essential for their behavior to meet the highest standards of integrity and propriety. If your club intends to travel, it is best to get started by emailing clubs@cwi.edu

Club members are to uphold expectations in the Student Handbook at all times. If Student Handbook policies are violated on the trip, the club advisor is to report those violations to Student Engagement. The student(s) will be held accountable for those policy violations through the student conduct process. Please ensure you keep a detailed record of the incidents, who was involved, who witnessed the activity, and the alleged policy violation. 

Guidelines for Overnight Student Travel

  • A Student Travel Release form to include emergency contact information for the student is required.
    • A parent or guardian’s signature is required if the student is under 18 years of age. 
  • Students traveling on behalf of CWI are responsible for their own health and injury insurance coverage. 
  • Students and employees traveling on behalf of CWI are required to depart and return as a group.
    • Travelers are neither permitted to individually depart before the rest of the group nor stay behind after the majority of the group leave to return home.
    • In cases where one or more participants are not physically located in the Boise metro area, alternate travel plans may be necessary, but arrivals and departures should be timed as closely as possible.
    • At no time should a student be left without an advisor while the rest of the group has departed to return home (e.g., leaving a student to catch a later bus, train, or flight) as any delays or travel issues may strand a student without resources for food, shelter, or alternate transportation. 
  • Accommodations for Student Travel:
    • Employees and students are prohibited from sharing a room in any situation. 
    • Students will share a room with a minimum of two (2) to a room. Notwithstanding this rule, students will not be required to share a room with students of another gender. 
  • Students and faculty will be expected to cover all expenses of a personal nature incurred solely for the convenience of the student or faculty member including, but not limited to, meals included in the cost of registration or provided by the event, room service, cancellation charges, late or early check in/out fees, lost or stolen cash or property, etc. 
  • Expenses incurred while on personal leave, even if it is scheduled in conjunction with CWI sponsored travel, must be covered by the student or faculty member. 

Early Return from Travel 

  • If a student is expelled or otherwise removed from an event or activity by the organizer, the student will be sent home immediately and will be responsible for any additional charges, pending the outcome of Student Conduct proceedings.
  • If a student’s behavior is inappropriate or disruptive, the advisor, in consultation with the Dean of Students, may require a student to return home immediately, and the student may be responsible for any additional charges, pending the outcome of Student Conduct proceedings. 
  • If a student chooses to leave the event or activity, or fails to appropriately participate or engage (e.g., leaves the event without permission, fails to attend sessions, does not attend required events, refuses to participate in competitions, etc.) the advisor, in consultation with the Dean of Students, may require a student to return home immediately, and the student may be responsible for any additional charges, pending the outcome of Student Conduct proceedings. 
  • If a student experiences an emergency which requires them to return home prior to the scheduled date of return, the student must communicate the emergency prior to leaving the event. The Dean of Students will determine if the student is responsible for any additional charges.
