Community PartnerSHIPS
SDSU faculty and programs partner with local, regional, national and international organizations, businesses, non-profits, governments, etc. to advance the academic mission of the university, inlcuding building strong relationships between the university and the community, and preparing our students for real-world careers through experiential learning opportunities. Community partnerships are a critical part of university life.
RISK MANAGEMENT FOR CE/SL COURSES & PROJECTS
For the SAFECLIP or SPLIP insurance to cover the students at a community partner site, a fully signed agreement must be executed prior to the start of the CE or SL experience. Therefore it is the faculty member's responsibilty to ensure the following process is followed before students work off-campus at a partner site as part of a course or project.
