Answers:
Per Bylaw 13.6.4 it is permissible for an institution to provide transportation from the nearest bus or train station or major airport to campus to a prospect for initial enrollment during the regular academic year (e.g., fall term) or to attend preseason practice (4-14-86 official).
Answer 1: No, Bylaw 13.6.4 cannot be applied to provide transportation for a prospect to attend summer school classes as it is applicable to initial enrollment during the regular academic year (4-14-86 official).
Answer 2: No, Bylaw 13.6.4 cannot be applied to provide transportation for a prospect to begin summer employment (4-14-86 official and 13.2.4.2) or to look for housing (13.6.4).
Answer 3: Yes, if the orientation session immediately precedes the start of classes during the regular academic year (e.g., the weekend prior), such transportation may be provided to attend the orientation session (8-2-95 staff). Please note that as of August 1, 2001, Proposal 2000-91 will permit an institution to provide transportation for orientation sessions regardless of when such sessions occur; however, until August 1, 2001, transportation may not be provided to attend orientation session that occur at any point other than immediately prior to the start of classes - since no one starts fall classes prior to August 1, 2001, this means transportation to attend orientation sessions cannot be provided at this time. Also, Paul's status as a nonqualifier does not matter as 13.6.4 is applicable to partial and nonqualifiers as well as qualifiers (9-14-90 staff).
Answer 4: Yes, such transportation may be provided by the undergraduate, volunteer, graduate or restricted coach - in addition to any other athletics department staff member. An institutional car may be used by any of these individuals to provide the transportation (8-14-98 staff).
Answer 5: No, parents and/or legal guardians may not be provided transportation under the conditions of 13.6.4 (9-2-94 staff).
