In cases where cancellation by the College of a trip is necessary due to unforeseen circumstances, the College will strive to notify the bus provider as soon as possible.

  1. In cases where cancellation by the College of a trip occurs no less than six (6) hours before embarkation from the bus provider’s workplace, there will be no trip and/or penalty charges assessed.  Any prepaid trip deposit will be returned to the College.
  2. In cases where cancellation by the College of a trip is necessary due to unforeseen circumstances is less than six (6) hour notification, any penalty charges assessed will not equal the full cost of the planned trip. Such charge should be no larger than is needed to defray the bus provider’s expenses, i.e. hourly compensation for the bus driver commuting to/from work site.
  3. The College will work closely with the bus provider to confirm and schedule, with as much advance notice as possible, all anticipated trips to ensure a positive working relationship. Transportation often occurs before or after normal 8:00 am - 5:00 pm business hours.  Firm departure dates will be shared with the bus provider as soon as they are available, especially in the case of College Athletics department team trips.
