Student Travel Policy

  1. TTUHSC O.P. 77.08 regulates any travel undertaken by one or more students presently enrolled at TTUHSC to an activity or event that is located more than 25 miles from the campus of TTUHSC. This Operating Policy (OP) applies to any event or activity which is organized, sponsored and/or funded by TTUHSC, is undertaken using a vehicle owned or leased by the university or is a required event or activity by a student organization registered at TTUHSC.
  2. Modes of travel by students to events or activities as defined above include:
    1. personally-owned vehicles;
    2. commercial vehicles, including but not limited to rental cars, vans, chartered buses;
    3. commercial airlines; and
    4. use of TTUHSC-owned vehicle.
  3. The purpose of this policy is to help minimize the risks of liability connected with motor vehicle travel by TTUHSC faculty, staff and students. The policy applies to the use of the above modes of travel in any activities directly related to the academic, research, and/or administrative responsibility of the department involved. This policy also applies to travel undertaken by one or more students presently enrolled at TTUHSC to reach a university related activity located more than 25 miles from TTUHSC. It applies to travel required by a registered student organization. This HSC OP does not create a claim or cause of action against TTUHSC or its employees, and TTUHSC retains all defenses to any such action including, but not limited to, sovereign immunity.
