What are the liability issues associated with exchange?
Liability issues are complex and vary from state to state. While students remain degree-seeking students at their home campuses, they are subject to the rules and regulations of their host. Areas of potential risk associated with exchange participation are little different than remaining on the home campus. They may include maintenance of academic progress, health and safety, discrimination, financial, drug and alcohol issues, natural disasters, linkage to host campus study abroad or other off-campus programs, and academic and social behavior. Examples of waivers and/or hold-harmless statements are available from NSE.
