Appendix 2 

POLICIES AND PROCEDURES GOVERNING STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS 

Trinity Law School supports registered student organizations in activities that promote career development, academic success, professional networking, and Christian discipleship.

How to Register a Student Organization

  1. Obtain a Student Organization Registration Form from the Registrar's Office.
  2. Acknowledge agreement with policies, principles, and regulations governing Trinity Law School.
  3. Submit the completed registration form with signed acknowledgment to the Registrar's Office. The Registrar's Office will submit all materials to the Dean's Office for review and approval.
  4. Registrations must be submitted 30 days in advance of the organization's first proposed event.

Requirements of Registered Student Organizations

All registered student organizations must meet and maintain the following requirements:

  1. All members of a registered student organization must be enrolled Juris Doctor (JD) students of Trinity Law School.
  2. Every registered student organization must enlist a faculty advisor.
  3. All student group activities, whether on-campus or off, are subject to the policies, principles, and regulations governing Trinity Law School.
  4. All activities must include accommodations necessary to permit the involvement of qualified in-person and online students, unless excused in advance for good cause in writing upon application to the Dean's Office.

Failure of a registered student organization to conform its conduct to the policies, principles, and regulations governing Trinity Law School or any action of the organization which detracts from Trinity Law School's mission may lead to a formal revocation of the organization’s status as a registered student organization and its ability to receive funding from Trinity Law School.

Only those organizations registered with Trinity Law School will receive event funding from Trinity Law School or be permitted to use Trinity Law School facilities. Registrations are valid only for the academic year in which they are submitted, with updated registrations required each academic year.

Requests for funding must be submitted to the Dean's Office. Only events that promote career development, academic success, professional networking, or Christian discipleship will be considered for approval. The Dean's Office must approve all registered student organization advertising and marketing prior to materials being posted on campus or distributed to students electronically.

In the semester in which the election is held, officers of registered student organizations must be Trinity Law School JD students in good standing (i.e., not on academic probation at the time of election) with:

  1. more than 30 units or two semesters at Trinity Law School completed by the end of that semester, and
  2. at least one full academic year left in their JD program. 

No Trinity Law School graduate may continue to serve as an officer of a registered student organization. Any holder of an officer position who is placed on academic probation is administratively ineligible to continue in office and that office shall be deemed vacant, effective immediately. 

 

Appendix 3

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

Fire Evacuation Procedures

Students should learn the emergency escape routes in case of fire. Escape routes are posted.

Students should not in any way impede the work of firefighters. Traffic lanes and sidewalks should be kept free for the fire-fighting equipment. Do not use the elevator to evacuate.

For emergencies (e.g., an unplanned fire alarm goes off, or there is a fire within the building):

  • The administration or campus security will contact all pertinent agencies. If they are unavailable, students should call 911. Students should make a note of the location of each fire alarm and fire extinguisher.
  • Once the alarm has sounded, students, faculty, and staff should proceed as per fire drill instructions. As persons assemble in the parking lot, they should stay together as a group.
  • In the event of major injuries, first aid is of primary importance and must be attended to immediately. A first aid and disaster kit is located on both floors of the campus building.
  • If the fire alarm rings during an examination, proctors will inform you of special procedures to follow.

Earthquake Emergency Procedures

Do not run outside. By going outside, a student can be seriously injured by falling debris. The safest place in the event of an earthquake is under a desk or table. Damage and injury from an earthquake usually occur due to panic, falling objects, and broken glass. Some steps to follow:

  • In a classroom, the instructor is in charge and everyone should immediately get under the desk or table until the shaking stops.
  • In the library, the best place to be is under a library table. Stay away from bookshelves and windows.
  • In an office, get under a desk or a table, but if not possible, "duck and cover." Be sure to stay away from windows, bookshelves, and file cabinets. 
  • During an examination, stop and get under the desk or table. When the shaking has stopped, the proctors will inform you of special procedures to follow.
  • Do not attempt to use the elevators. In the event of a power failure, you could become trapped.
  • At the first sign of an earthquake, you should take the appropriate action outlined above.

After the earthquake:

  • Be aware that there will be aftershocks. If a major earthquake occurs, you can expect aftershocks every few minutes, every few hours, or every few days.
  • Do not immediately run outside or into the hallway. Because of strong aftershocks, risk of injury may persist. Take a survey of the area you are in: (1) Are you hurt? (2) Is anyone else hurt? (3) Is there a fire or gas leak? (4) Is there a life-threatening situation?
  • The only reason to leave the building would be in case of a gas leak, fire, or any other life-threatening situation. Otherwise, you will be safer staying inside until a designated official tells you to evacuate. The response team will take a survey of the library and classrooms to check for structural damage before classes can resume. If it is necessary to evacuate, please follow the procedures outlined in the fire evacuation plan outlined above.
