2. Pursuant to s. 112.061, Florida Statute, regarding State employee travel, the 2022-2023 Florida Law 2022-157 section 89 states:“ Costs for lodging associated with a meeting, conference, or convention organized or sponsored in whole or part by a state agency or judicial branch may not exceed $ 175 per day. An employee may expend his or her own funds for any lodging expenses in excess of the $ 175 per day.”
This means that any State agency sponsored meeting / conference / convention hotel costs cannot exceed $ 175 per night. Any amount over that will be the responsibility of the employee. Please be mindful of this rule when making your reservations.
303.8 Travel Etiquette All members traveling, including students and sponsors, should exchange cell phone numbers and save the hotel phone number in case of emergency.
Students must stay within the company of the travel sponsor at all times unless permitted otherwise( e. g., attending different workshops at the same conference; eating at different establishments in the same location, etc.). Members should always plan on staying in the company of at least one other member at all times and should not wander off alone.
303.9 Student Conduct All students participating in travel are expected to conduct themselves in a lawful, civil, and responsible manner. Students must abide by the Student Code of Conduct, as well as any and all local, State, and Federal laws and ordinances at all times. As such, the consumption of alcoholic beverages during travel is prohibited. Any students who fail to meet these expectations are subject to discipline, which may result in being returned home before the end of the trip at the student’ s expense.
If the travel sponsor reasonably believes a student has engaged in serious and / or repeated incidents of poor conduct, the sponsor will immediately notify Associate Dean of Student Life, Dean of Students, or Academic Dean( as appropriate to the situation). The decision to revoke travel privileges and return a student home shall be made by these administrators and / or other college officials as appropriate. To the extent practical and feasible, the student will be given an opportunity to respond to the concerns raised prior to the decision.
303.10 Classroom Attendance Students authorized for college-sponsored travel may be credited with an excused absence from class, subject to the individual faculty attendance policy. It is each student’ s responsibility to initiate arrangements with his / her instructors.
