Planning Off-Campus Events
Any event planned for off campus must be approved by the Director of Campus Programming and Leadership. Once the event has been approved, all of the necessary paperwork must be filled out in completion prior to departing for the trip.
Southern New Hampshire University sponsors many opportunities that occur off-campus. Keeping this in mind, participants in these activities must realize that there are rules to follow to help them stay safe and represent SNHU positively. Although no set of rules can guarantee the health and safety of each individual involved in an off-campus activity, the University has established these guidelines to address issues that merit special attention.
It is the responsibility of all SNHU students to read and understand the guidelines as posted in the handbook for off-campus trips. Students must adhere to all SNHU policies/guidelines even if the trip that is sponsored is off-campus. If a policy violation occurs, the Director of Campus Programming & Leadership will follow up with the individual/individuals involved upon returning from the trip.
