UMass Boston

UMass Boston athletic teams typically travel to and from intercollegiate contests by charter buses or UMass Boston vans. The distance of travel, size of travel party, and financial circumstances will determine the mode of transportation to be used for each contest.  The Deputy AD for Internal Administration/SWA will work with the Business & Operations Manager to make a final determination on the mode of transportation.   

Student-athletes are required to travel with the team, using University transport to and from all sport-related activities.      

In order for a student to have permission to travel from an event by means other than school-provided transportation, the following must occur:  

• The student must have a legitimate, necessary need for alternate travel.  

• The student must request permission from the head coach a minimum of 24 hours in advance.  

• The student travels only with their parent(s) or guardian(s).  

• All other exceptions regarding travel to or from an event require approval from the sport administrator.
