Key Definitions

College Programs means any program or activity that the College operates or sponsors or in which College students, faculty, staff, or volunteers engage through their College roles. Examples of College Programs include:

• Residential and Non-Residential programs operated by the College on campus;
• Off-Campus programs operated or formally facilitated by the College; and
• Programs which the College does not operate, sponsor, or formally facilitate but in which College students, faculty, or staff participate in their capacity as students, faculty, or staff.

This term does not include programs or activities in which one may engage that are unrelated to one’s status as College student, faculty, staff, or volunteer.

Minor for purposes of this policy means any person under the age of 18. College undergraduate students who are under the age of 18 are treated by this Policy similarly to all other students for purposes of their interactions with Minors in College Programs, Non-College Programs, and Service Programs and are subject to the requirements that apply to other students.

Non-College Program means any program or activity that is offered by a third-party organization, group, or entity through a contract or other written agreement with the College that potentially will include Minors as participants and will occur on College property or use College facilities. Examples of Non-College Programs include:

Owner/Operators means any College student, faculty, staff, that operates or sponsors a College Program or Service Program that will potentially include Minors as participants; or any Non-College Program that operates or sponsors a Non-College Program that will potentially include Minors as participants.

Service Program means any services, programs or activities not operated by the College but in which members of the College community participate in their capacity as students, faculty, or staff. Examples of Service Programs are volunteer activities of students, student club activities, activities to support student research projects.
