Procedure 302.09: Field Trips, Faculty
Field trips are activities that require students to be away from the campus for one or more class periods. These can be important educational experiences. They should be planned with the division chair and arranged with the appropriate dean of instruction.
Any budget considerations for field trips must be discussed with dean approval before scheduling the field trip. If there are substantial changes planned for a field trip for following years, the faculty member must discuss budgetary impacts with the dean for planning purposes.
Procedure Review History
Review and Revision refers to the College’s cyclical process for evaluating and updating all institutional policies and procedures. At minimum, each policy or procedure will undergo review once every five years to ensure accuracy, relevance, and alignment with current practices and regulatory requirements. If the scheduled review results in no changes, the date of that review will be recorded in the Reviewed field. If updates or edits are made, the date will be recorded in the Revised field. This process maintains transparency regarding the history of each policy or procedure and ensures the College remains responsive to evolving needs and standards.
