Disclaimer and Safety Notice

Biol 515 requires students to participate in field trips, research, or studies that include course work that will be performed off-campus. Participation in such activities may result in accidents or personal injury. Students participating in the event are aware of these risks, and agree to hold harmless San Diego State University, the State of California, the Trustees of the California State University and Colleges and its officers, employees, and agents against all claims, demands, suits, judgements, expenses and costs of any kind on account of their participation in the activities.

Students are responsible for their own health and safety during classroom, laboratory, and field exercises. The student health insurance policy at SDSU does not cover injuries received on or off campus, unless the injury is minor and can be treated at SDSU Student Health Services.

Students may neither snorkel nor scuba dive in relation to SDSU course activities without certification and approval of the SDSU Diving Safety Officer.
