Field Trips

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many field trip or experiential learning courses have been modifed or cancelled. Please contact your department chair or administrative manager if you have any questions about your field trip.

Please see the Interim Field Trip Policy for details on how to comply with current University standards for field trips. A field trip is a required course activity that occurs off campus. Departments may have their own field trip procedures, however, the University-wide Field Trip Guidelines should be followed in all cases. Each class that requires field trips should include a statement in the syllabus such as "This class includes a field trip. Please complete all the relevant forms and return to me by XXX date. Sonoma State University Field Trip Forms are availible on the Risk Management website".

At least two weeks prior to a scheduled field trip, all forms need to be completed and returned to the Academic Department. The Academic Department will retain all field trip forms for a period of one year.

Please review the University Field Trip Guidelines prior to all field trips.
