Students may only drive on University business if doing so is appropriately
part of their employee or volunteer duties. To receive authorization
to drive a University or personal vehicle on University Business,
students must meet the same criteria and be authorized in the same
manner as any other University employee. Requests to authorize
students to use University or personal vehicles to conduct University
business should be carefully reviewed. Students should not be designated
as University volunteers just for the purpose of driving on an occasional
field trip or errand because the University remains responsible
for ensuring that safety requirements are followed and that the
student driver has been properly trained.
University vehicles may not be loaned to or used by students or
student organizations not performing or conducting University business.
For example, students driving to perform degree-required research
and projects and/or to travel to conferences, meetings or off-campus
activities are in most instances not conducting University business
and are thus not eligible to drive University vehicles for these
purposes.
