OTC’s Standards of Student Conduct as outlined in Policy 5.15 applies to any travel sponsored by the college.
Field Trip is described as an off campus “Day Only” activity, chaperoned by an OTC staff member, and consists of travel under 125 miles one-way originating from any OTC campus or center. Completion of the Field Trip Form automatically provides proper notification to college officials of intended field trip plans and does not require additional approvals.
Overnight/over 125 miles travel is described as an Intent to Travel with Students in a college-sanctioned event requiring an overnight stay and/or travel of at least 125 miles one-way originating from any OTC campus or center. OTC’s Student Travel Policy 5.36 outlines necessary protocols.
If a travel activity involves expenses that the travel sponsor will pay for out of pocket and considers reimbursable by the college as described in Policy 6.12 Direct Reimbursement for Permissible Expenditures. Students who are also employees of the college must submit an Advanced Travel Request (ATR) and obtain approval before participating in the travel activity if they expect reimbursement for expenses.
