Student Travel
All students engaging in travel for official Olin business further than 100 miles from campus or involving an overnight stay must alert the College to travel at least two weeks prior to travel.
- Olin business is travel in which individual students or student groups are representing Olin in some way and includes, but is not limited to major student group outings, research-related travel, and course-related travel, and includes travel throughout the calendar year.
- Students do not need to alert the College to local, same-day, incidental travel.
To alert the College of upcoming travel, a student traveling individually or a representative of a group that is planning travel must submit a single Travel Form to the Dean of Student Affairs. Students traveling during the academic year are responsible for seeking permission from relevant faculty for missed classes making plans for make-up work. Additional information and risk assessment may be requested, depending on the nature of the trip. For additional guidance on when the travel form is necessary, please contact the Dean of Student Affairs.
Additionally, each student traveling must fill out an Assumption of Risk and Waiver Agreement form at least 2 business days prior to travel. An additional Olin Automobile Owner Acknowledgement Form is required for students using their personal vehicles and should be filled out at least 4 business days prior to travel.
Students traveling with SCOPE or ADE will fill out appropriate forms through these programs, who will convey the information to the Dean of Student Affairs.
