Field trips provide a unique and valuable experience for students to learn outside of the classroom and connect with their peers. At Skyline College, we are supportive of this type of learning experience. We also understand the risks and liability for the College. Field trip organizers can reduce the risk by better ensuring the safety of all participants by planning and following our district policies and guidelines. Below are resources to help you plan for a safe and successful trip.

Please use one of our Field Trip Timelines to help you with planning:
