A volunteer is a person who performs work for the university for no pay or benefits. Departments may use volunteers for non-high-risk positions. The department head must select volunteers who meet the minimum qualifications to perform the tasks. Volunteers may not replace classified employees who have been laid off.
A volunteer may not perform any work until the department head and volunteer have completed and processed the ASU Volunteer Registration Form. This form is provided by Environmental Health & Safety. Any questions regarding this form can be directed to EH&S.
Insurance Coverage
Volunteers working at the direction of a university employee for an official university activity are provided insurance coverage for liability for acts and/or omissions in accordance with state law. There are some exclusions to this coverage, including acts or omissions determined by a court to be a felony by a person who is provided coverage and losses arising out of contractual breaches. Workers’ compensation coverage is only provided to volunteer fire fighters and law enforcement personnel.
University vehicles used for official university business are covered under the university’s property and liability insurance coverage provided by the Arizona Department of Administration, Risk Management Section. Employees and volunteers are authorized to drive university vehicles for official university business provided they have a valid driver’s license. Special training requirements must be met by operators of eight-occupant or greater vehicles used for university business as described in EHS 108–03.
The university maintains a medical insurance policy ($25,000 maximum per occurrence per individual) for nonemployees authorized to travel on university business.
