5 KEENE STATE COLLEGE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT - STUDENT USE OF PERSONAL VEHICLE FOR OFF-CAMPUS EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES Student Transportation The richness of a Keene State College education may be enhanced through the participation in one or more educational experiences. These experiences are both curricular and co-curricular and may take place on or off campus. Several degree programs include one or more of these experiences as a graduation requirement. Students should check with their advisor and/or department chair to determine if this is a requirement for their major area. If the experience is to be convened at a remote location, students may be required to provide their own transportation to and from the site. Unless specifically stated, Keene State College and the University System of New Hampshire assume no responsibility for transportation of students to the site of an experience. Students participating in an off-campus educational experience will be responsible for all costs related to travel. Personal vehicles should be adequately insured for public liability insurance protection. Students are responsible for insuring their own vehicles. Students will not be reimbursed by USNH for collision losses that occur during business use of a personal vehicle. In the event of an accident, the owner's personal insurance provides coverage and the owner is personally responsible for any deductible payable. USNH does not provide any coverage for comprehensive or collision insurance for personal vehicles. I acknowledge that I have read and understand the student transportation policies and will abide by them.
