II. MEDICAL CONDITIONS
Students with medical conditions, allergies, or disabling conditions must be accommodated for all field trips and off-campus class activities. This includes finding alternative activities to learn the same information. Faculty will provide, in advance, specific information to students regarding the type and rigors of the trip/class activity (e.g., miles to be covered, elevation change, terrain, etc.). Students are then responsible for identifying the need for modifications or alternative activities. The Disability Resource Center is available for suggestions and assistance in negotiating adaptations.

III. INSURANCE COVERAGE
It is important that both students and supervising faculty, staff members, and administrators be aware of their respective responsibilities to exercise due care in planning for, and participating in, field trips, other off-campus class activities, and other off-campus events, including adequate preparation for medical emergencies that may arise. Students having no health insurance may encounter financial liabilities if they require ambulance and/or other medical services as a result of sickness or injury occurring during field trips or other off-campus class activities. Sonoma State University and the State of California do not provide coverage for the medical costs incurred by students. The CSU system maintains a very limited "injury only" policy for enrolled students participating in school-sponsored activities away from campus.
Do you have health insurance coverage from your employer, and/or through a parent/s, a spouse, or domestic partner? ________________ If yes please indicate below.
