<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Level 1</b> - At a minimum, programs must be registered with the OGO and pay a $75 fee per student to become part of the central risk management process. At this level, colleges are responsible for recruiting students, setting up and
managing sites, creating and monitoring budgets, setting up course sections and registering students, etc. Services provided by OGO include 24-hour emergency response support and the development and continued oversight of consistent preventative risk management
procedures, such as waiver language signed by students. <o:p></o:p></p>
