Programs for Minors

As part of its academic mission, the University of North Texas at Dallas creates academic and sports programming for minors.  Some of these programs include the TRIO and Pre-Collegiate Programs, Upward Bound, Talent Search, Rising Blazers, McNair and Trailblazer Elite programs.  

Whether the minors are in the care, custody and control of UNTD or a third-party, the following procedures must be followed to ensure compliance with Policy 15.003 Programs for Minors v.1 (policytech.com).

The Camp Director is responsible to ensure that the camp complies with all policies and procedures. The Camp Director will keep all documentation regarding their camp for auditing purposes.
