The requirement that all field trips should begin and end on campus is impractical and often impossible. Why is it necessary?
The guideline that all field trips should begin and end on campus is a GUIDELINE and not a requirement. This guideline is related to the requirement of the Student Travel Accident insurance policy purchased by CSU. A field trip that begins and ends on campus is less likely to be questioned as a “field trip” by the insurance policy claims administrators. This travel accident insurance covers students who are away from campus on a University sponsored field trip or traveling to or from a field trip site.
