FIELD TRIPS
Off-campus field trips, which can
provide valuable learning experiences, are permissible if they do not
interfere unduly with attendance in other classes, but faculty members are
expected to exercise discretion in planning such trips so that students
will not have excessive absences.
Field trips should be planned well in advance, and they must have the
approval of both the department chairperson and the dean. The names of
students participating in a field trip should be sent to the professor’s
dean well ahead of time so that the list may be published in the Weekly
Report at least one week in advance. Such prior notice gives
professors in other classes the opportunity to adjust their testing
schedules, etc., when their classes are affected.
If State-owned vehicles are to be used in connection with a field trip,
arrangements must be approved by the department chairperson and the
appropriate dean and confirmed well ahead of time by the Motor Pool Clerk
in the Physical Plant.
All due caution should be taken on
field trips to safeguard the students involved. Releases may be required
of students engaging in field trips.
