Travel and Driving Policies

Before your group travels outside of the Hanover area (even if you don't require funding to travel) you must file an itinerary with the Collis Center & Student Activities Office (e-mail). Just send a blitz with the list of who is going, where and how you will travel. If you are staying overnight please include a phone number.

As a general rule, whenever possible or practical, the college prefers students travel via a common carrier such as bus, train, plane, or van service.

Traveling by car?

The college has a firm Driver Policy that requires each driver to be approved by the college. To get approval you must have a clean driving record and attend a driver safety class. Allow at least one week to become approved. To drive a van (not a minivan) an additional van approval is required and this involves an on-the-road test.

We acknowledge that complying with the policy may be inconvenient and it may complicate your planning process, however, it is a rule that must be followed. If it seems impossible for your organization to comply with the policy, please come to the Student Activities office to see if there may be a way to follow the policy that you haven't considered.
