Extra Info for Leaders

PE Credit

PE credit is now available for DOC Trips leaders! In order to get PE credit leaders must:

• Attend a Group Dynamics course
• Attend a Risk Assessment course
• Attend a Wilderness Skills course (participation in an Overnight or Wilderness Skills in a previous year will satisfy this requirement)
• Turn in a copy of your CPR and Basic First Aid (or higher) certification card to Trips.
• (Either blitz us a copy of your card, or bring it by the Trips Office in Robo 103 and we can make a copy for you!)

PE credit will be given during the term that you successfully complete all the above requirements. Signing up for PE credit is your responsibility! You must register via Bannerstudent at the beginning of the term during which you are planning on fulfilling all the training requirements. At the end of Spring term (and again at the end of Summer term), we will blitz the PE office a list of who has completed these requirements.

Housing

DOC Trips will provide housing for you during your trip. Your first night you’ll spend in the leader training review program, the second night you’ll spend with your trip on-campus, and then you’ll be out on your trip.

Interim Housing

If you will be on-campus summer or fall term and need interim housing before or after your trip, you must register with ORL yourself. The deadline for summer-fall interim housing is Friday, July 31, 2009. You can download an interim housing application from ORL.

- If you're ON this Summer AND Fall, you're eligible to stay in your room for the whole interim period (but you still have to apply).

- If you're ON this Summer but OFF in the Fall, you're eligible to stay in your room until Sep 7th. (So, if you're leading Sections A-C, you can apply (with ORL) to leave stuff in your room until you get back from your Trip.)

- If you're OFF this Summer but ON in the Fall, you're eligible to enter your room starting Sep 3rd. (So, if you're leading Section D or later, you can apply (with ORL) to enter your room the day you arrive in Hanover, to stash your stuff there.)
