STUDENT DRIVERS OF UNIVERSITY OWNED VEHICLES
Policy #F&P-4830-08


Purpose
To provide a uniform policy statement regarding the utilization of student drivers to drive University-owned vehicles.

Objective
A. To provide for the legal operation of University-owned vehicles.

B. To comply with insurance and liability requirements.

Definitions
The term University-owned vehicle includes those vehicles provided by the state, through the Department of General Services as well as those obtained and licensed through the University and the State System of Higher Education.

Policy
The policy is that students, both undergraduate and graduate, may operate University-owned vehicles only while in pursuit of University business.  They must be receiving salary remuneration (with taxes withheld), and must be covered for workers compensation liability in the State Workmen's Insurance Fund.

In addition, they must adhere to the rules and regulations governing the University-owned fleet, which calls for a current, valid Pennsylvania driver's license with no suspensions and of the proper class for the vehicle, which they are to operate.
