Risk Management for Student Organization Policy

校园活动

All student organizations are formally registered on an annual basis by 基督教社会联盟DH through a process administered by the Office of Student Life. As a formally registered student organization, insurance coverage for events that are held on-campus is provided through the university's general liability policy. This coverage exists for events that are normal activities for student organizations including meetings, 筹款活动, 演讲者, and other general activities.

There are exceptions where certain kinds of events are not covered by this policy. In the case of sporting events such as tournaments, inter-club sports activities, and other activities with higher risk, the student organization will be required to address the risk exposure. This will be done in consultation with the university's Risk Manager, and may include the use of participation waivers, 特殊事件保险, or some combination thereof. Special event coverage must be arranged through the university's Risk Management Office at the sponsoring group's expense, and evidence of its purchase must be provided to the Office of Student Life.

校外活动

The university's general liability policy does not extend to activities that are conducted off campus. All events sponsored by and promoted as a 基督教社会联盟DH event, must be registered with the university with the filing of an 活动策划表格[PDF] with the 乐客学生会 and/or the Office of Student Life. Failing to do so prior to event promotion, 市场营销, and/or implementation will jeopardize the good standing with the university held by the sponsoring organization. Student organizations holding off-campus events will assume the responsibility and liability for such events and activities.

It is recommended that student organizations wishing to host off-campus activities consider obtaining liability insurance to protect their organization and its members. 在某些情况下, based on information shared within an Event Planning Meeting with university personnel, 特殊事件保险 or university co-sponsorship may be required. If a student organization has a national affiliation, the representatives of that student organization may want to inquire with their national office to see what insurance coverage is extended to their group. For consultation on risk issues and insurance, you may contact the Office of Student Life or the 基督教社会联盟DH Risk Management Office.

Social Fraternities and Sororities

Organizations that meet the criteria of a social fraternity and sorority, as determined by the 基督教社会联盟DH registration process and the Office of Student Life, will be required to provide proof of general liability insurance to the university. Certificates of insurance must contain the following language: "California State University, Dominguez山, 加利福尼亚州, the 基督教社会联盟 Board of Trustees, and all of its departments, 董事会, 辅机, 和佣金, 及其军官, employees and agents are named additional insured under the terms of this policy as to the activities of the insured."

This insurance must remain in effect during the registration period. If the group is not able to acquire insurance through their national organization, please contact the 基督教社会联盟DH Office of Student Life.

Risk Management Education

所有组, including those defined as Social Fraternities and Sororities, must participate in a risk management component of orientation. 所有组 will be required to sign a certification of distribution of information shared at this session.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: This risk management policy is an integral part of the non-希腊 and social 希腊-letter organization registration processes. It is to be considered for its relevance to all organizations wishing to obtain and maintain official registration and recognition status with the university. Any requirements mentioned or implied within must be met, verified, and maintained.
