V480.01 Field Trip Policy

Policy

An academic field trip is a course-related activity that serves educational purposes and occurs at a location other than the classroom or campus. These trips function as a complement to classroom and laboratory learning. Academic field trips are university-sponsored events and must conform to the procedures listed below. These procedures also apply to field trips for courses that are regularly taught outside of a classroom or at locations away from campus (e.g., field research).
