OFF-CAMPUS TRANSPORTATION
From time to time class assignments or other class activities may take place off campus. When District transportation is provided, students are required to use it. When the location is in southern California, the class or activity may be convened and dismissed at the site. When this occurs, students will be responsible for their own transportation.
Students may be required to sign a field trip or student release form.
In regard to class trips, the student is encouraged to contact the instructor of the course to determine the likely dates, locations, and frequency of such off-campus requirements.
