Ohio Admin. Code 3358:5-9-12 - Field trips policy
Field trips are an integral part of many classes. To be sure that the experience is positive, the following shall be closely observed.
(A) For the faculty member
(1) Make the proper arrangements at least two
weeks in advance with the business organization being visited.
(2) Have students (in writing) inform other
instructors whose classes will be affected.
(3) Carefully outline the purpose of the
field trip with the students. Have questions prepared if appropriate.
(4) Make appropriate travel arrangements and
inform students of departure/arrival times.
(5) If college vehicles are used, the faculty
member shall contact the office of the vice president for business affairs to
schedule a vehicle. Students are discouraged from driving college
vehicles.
(6) Travel by
privately-owned vehicle is authorized only if the employee or student is
insured under a policy of liability insurance in compliance with the laws of
the state of Ohio. If students drive their personal vehicles, the student will
not have automobile coverage through the college. The college, however, is
protected under its non-owned vehicle rider.
(7) Announce follow-up requirements such as
class return time, reports, and assignments.
(8) Send a thank-you note to the business
representative (if applicable).
(B) For the students
(1) Conduct should be appropriate to the
event.
(2) Use the field trip as a
learning experience following instructor guidelines.
(3) Use the experience as a potential career
path.
(4) Be prepared to ask
questions, make observations, and complete reports.
