Students that are studying on-campus in the spring 2021 semester are only permitted to travel within a 5-mile radius of Gettysburg College. We recognize that in some extenuating circumstances, students may need to travel beyond this radius. Those seeking an exception to the College’s personal travel restrictions must fill out the Student Travel Exception Request Form and receive approval before leaving the area. Exceptions will only be made for employment, healthcare, religious services, and emergency situations. More information can be found in the January 14 message from OSAGL.
College-sponsored travel
In some limited cases student may travel beyond the 5-mile radius for College-sponsored travel. In such instances, students do not need to fill out the Student Travel Exception Form but the group leader must fill out the Travel Notification Form on CNAV.
