This form is to be completed for any OLLU-related overnight travel that includes students such as athletics, academics, clubs/organizations, etc.
NOTE: Please submit the form after your travel to ensure you have complete information, including specific rooms/suites occupied.
If you have questions, please contact the 天美影院Police Department at clery@ollusa.edu. When must I register trips to off-campus locations?
If a university/department makes the arrangements and has the agreement with the lodging location, the trip is considered school-sponsored and the trip must be registered.
- Overnight, school-sponsored trips: If the university/department or registered student organization sponsors student(s) on an overnight trip, for example to see a play in Austin, and the department rents hotel rooms.
- Short-stay "away" trips: If the university/department or registered student organization sponsors short-stay "away" trips of more than one night for its students, all locations used during the trip, controlled by the institution during the trip, and used to support educational purposes should be registered. An example is a three-week marine biology study trip to the coast. Any classroom or housing space specified in the agreement between the institution and a third-party providing space must be reported.
- Third-party contractor: If the university/department has entered into a written agreement with a third-party contractor to arrange housing and/or classroom space for a school-sponsored trip or study program (either domestic or foreign), it is assumed that the contractor is acting on behalf of the school as the school's agent, putting the institution in control of this space.
- Study abroad programs: If your department sends students to study abroad at locations of facilities that the university/department/third-party contractor rents or leases for your students in a hotel or student housing facility, you are in control of that space for the time period covered by the agreement.
What does not need to be registered as an off campus trip?
- If students make the arrangements and choose the hotel it is NOT a school-sponsored trip.
- No agreement: If the university/department (or contracted third-party) does NOT have an agreement for the space used, your department does not control the space and are not required to count it.
- For example, there are some situations, such as sports tournaments, for which the host institution makes all of the housing arrangements for the visiting students. In these situations, the visiting institutions do not have a written agreement for the use of the space and are not required to report for the housing in which their students are located.
- Another example, students travel with a university sponsored trip. During the trip, students meet with the professor at a local cafe for an hour each week for a lecture. There is no written agreement to use the cafe space (the location was chosen by the professor out of a matter of convenience), therefore, the cafe is NOT a reportable location.
- Field Trips: You are NOT required to register non-overnight field trips to locations
the university/department does not own or control.
Host family situations do not normally qualify as reportable locations unless your written agreement with the family gives the university/department significant control over space in the family home.
Please note: If you are not sure if you need to register your trip, please register it and let the police department or compliance office evaluate the clery act obligations.
