Faculty members are permitted and even encouraged to arrange field trips when it is believed that these will contribute significantly to the quality and experiential learning of the given course. The faculty has approved the following guidelines governing such trips.

1. A maximum of one field trip day necessitating absence from other classes may be taken for each class in a semester.
2. Notice of all field trips and names of those involved should be filed in the Office of the Provost one week in advance, if at all possible.
3. All vehicles used for transportation in these trips must be covered by adequate liability insurance. If private vehicles are used, the driver and/or owner of the vehicle, not the University, is responsible for coverage.
4. No field trips should be scheduled during the final two weeks of a regular semester.
