Field Trips and Off-Site Class Activities

All field trips and any off or on-site class activities scheduled outside of the regular classroom, laboratory, or studio environments will be as accessible as possible. When planning these trips and activities, the procedure below will be followed:

Instructors are required to uphold all policies, procedures, and practices for field trips and off-site activities to ensure that locations are accessible.

If an instructor cannot ensure accessibility, but can demonstrate that modifying the location would fundamentally alter the nature of the programs and services offered as part of the course, the instructor must provide written notice to students and provide substitute materials or events to compensate for the inaccessible field trip or special event.

Students and instructors may contact the ODAS Director at any time for consultation or support regarding access to field trips and other class activities.

Public Events

Woodbury University is committed to providing an accessible campus in accordance with the ADA and to ensuring that all guests and students have equal access to events and activities.

Events held on campus to which the general public and/or student population are invited will be held in accessible locations. If changing an event location to make it accessible would fundamentally alter the nature of the goods or services provided, students will be provided written notice and substitute materials or events to compensate for the inaccessible special event.

Members of the Woodbury community or the public may contact the ODAS Director at Disabilities@woodbury.edu if an accommodation is required specifically to attend or participate in an event on campus.
