Risk Management

RISK MANAGEMENT OF ACADEMIC INTERNSHIPS & SERVICE-LEARNING EXPERIENCES

There are two documents that the university uses to manage risk in relation to credit bearing off-campus experiences: The University-Community Learning Activity Agreement and the Student Consent Form. The University-Community Learning Activity Agreement is a contract that guides the relationship between the university and the off-campus entity hosting our students in a credit-bearing off-campus experience.

AGREEMENT OVERVIEW

The Agreement is generated by Procurements & Contracts

The Agreement is signed by the authorized person as designated by the off-campus entity and CSU Fullerton's Procurements & Contracts.
There is NO END DATE for the agreement.

All agreements are reviewed periodically, usually every 5 years unless an issue has been noted and needs to be investigated
The signing of the Agreement is preceded by the off-campus entity registering with CSUF through the Center for Internships & Service-Learning.
Agreements are usually processed within 7 – 21 days from the off-campus entity registering with the Center for Internships & Service-Learning.

Agreements can and will be expedited upon request by the faculty member or student.

Note: Procurements & Contracts is the only authorized entity that may sign a contract, agreement or any legal document which binds the university. No other person may sign such a document on behalf of the university. This is in accordance with the President’s Directive on University Risk Management.

The Student Consent Form alerts the student who wishes to participate in a credit bearing off-campus experience of the possible risks involved with such activities. The student must sign the consent form acknowledging that they understand that there are such risks involved and that they are willing to make themselves aware of the risks specific to the site (off-campus entity) they have chosen to complete their “learning activities.”
