Travel

Northwestern Student Group Travel Resources

SOA has information available for student organizations whose activities include travel of all varieties. Resources and policies are divided into sections for:

  1. local (non-overnight) travel,
  2. domestic overnight ravel,
  3. international travel (re-directs to Office of Global Safety & Security).
Individuals electing to participate in academic, pre-professional, or competitive opportunities where they are invited or register as a university student but not necessarily representing their student organization or campus chapter are encouraged to pursue their own travel plans. Any team or registered student organization who is unsure whether the activity is considered student org travel should consult with their RSO advisor.

 

Reporting an Incident While Traveling 

Safety and well-being of trip participants is the highest priority for Northwestern.

Emergencies and University Resources

In the event of emergency while traveling domestically, students are expected to call 911 for local response. Students are expected to report any 911 calls to their student org advisor within a reasonable period of time via appropriate means of communication. For assistance navigating available resources from Northwestern University, students call the Administrator on Call 24/7 including weekends and holidays.

Personal Conduct Expectations

Student trip participants are expected to report any violations of policies in the Northwestern Student Handbook online and provide as much detail related to the incident as possible. Reports may be submitted by any individual (including anonymously) at any time and will be routed to the appropriate university administrator to respond (unless submitted anonymously). All overnight domestic travel requires participants to complete Behavior Agreement document and pass along to trip captain to submit to advisor as part of the pre-departure process
