| 1. | GENERAL | ||||
| 1.1 | Various University courses may require students to apply and practice their skills and knowledge gained by working directly with minors in different settings such as clinics, practica, labs, tutoring sessions, counseling sessions, therapy, and others, either on the University campus or at other locations. When these services are required of University students as part of the grade requirements of the course, these services will be termed co-curricular services to minors. These co-curricular services may be one-time events or recur on a regular or irregular basis. | ||||
| 1.2 | This rule focuses primarily on co-curricular services provided by University students to minors on a one-on-one basis, but it also covers co-curricular services involving interaction with groups of minors. | ||||
| 2. | SAFETY AND SECURITY ISSUES |
||||
| 2.1 | All University students engaged in co-curricular services to minors on an individual basis are required to maintain liability insurance, either obtained individually or through programs offered by the University. | ||||
| 2.2 | University students who deliver co-curricular services to minors on an individual basis must first undergo a security background check through the University Police. The Police will bring to the attention of the professor sponsoring the co-curricular service any issues that may put minors at risk. | ||||
| 2.3 | As appropriate to the activities and the characteristics of the minors involved, University students participating in the delivery of co-curricular services shall be trained in CPR procedures prior to the delivery of services. | ||||
| 2.4 | University students will not transport minors involved in co-curricular services in private vehicles. | ||||
| 2.5 | When feasible, University students delivering services on campus will work with groups of minors. When individualized services are delivered on campus, teams of at least two University students should deliver the services, if appropriate. | ||||
| 2.6 | When working with minors, University students must be under the supervision of University faculty. | ||||
