The University of Montana considers students and others who participate in activities sponsored by student groups to be adults who understand the nature and risk of such activities and accept personal responsibility for their conduct without need for supervision.

The University assumes no responsibility for a participant's bodily injury or personal property damage during student group activities.

Students are advised to have appropriate medical insurance, skill training and protective equipment, where applicable, and must have a valid driver's license and automobile insurance before driving any vehicle in connection with University activities.

It is expected that all members and participants of student group activities will abide by the Risk Management Plans submitted at the time of group recognition and adhere to the following UM Policies:

• UM Student Conduct Code
• UM Drug & Alcohol Policy
• UM Discrimination, Harassment, Sexual Misconduct, Stalking, and Retaliation Policy
• UM Emergency Procedures

Additional Risk Management Plans may be requested for specials events or projects (For example, Travel Safety Plans are required for all groups traveling). If you have questions, or would like more information about risk management or insurance coverage, please contact the Environmental Health and Risk Management Department at (406) 243-2700.

Sports Club Union team members must complete and sign a mandatory Medical Authorization/Emergency Medical Release/Acknowledgement of Risk form which can be found on the Sport's Club Union page.
