Travel Policy

Events that require travel to off-campus locations must be registered like any other event. The student organization must supply a list of all students attending the event no later than 24 hours prior to departure to the Office of Student Activities & Facilities and the Department of Public Safety. For a larger event or a trip of significant duration, supervision by University personnel is required. If a University-owned or leased vehicle is being used, the van driver must be registered and authorized by the University to drive the vehicle.

Fairfield University and all representative associates assume no responsibility or liability in connection with the service of any aircraft, train, bus, vessel or any other conveyance which is used, either wholly or in part, in the transporting of passengers. Neither will they be responsible for any act, error, or omission nor any loss or injury to persons or property, accident, delay, or irregularity which may be occasioned by reason of defect of any vehicle, or, through neglect or default of any company or person including hotels engaged in carrying out the purpose for which tickets or coupons have been issued, nor any illness, disease or infirmity or injury, death, damage, or inconvenience sustained by any person for any reason whatsoever. Nor does Fairfield University assume any financial liability or responsibility for any phase of the event. It is expressly understood that the University will not be responsible for any monies paid in regard to said event. In addition, there should be no alcohol consumed or present in any vehicle at any time.
