Guidelines for Off-Campus Engagement (OCE)

There are many different types of Off-Campus Engagements (College Policy). This website is meant to be a simple guideline for the necessary steps to register an OCE, create a roster and collect signed waivers. Please email offcampusengagement@conncoll.edu with questions.

The different kinds of OCEs include:

Domestic College-Sponsored

• Athletics
