Honors College course travel responsibilities

This course requires a program fee associated with the travel. The South Carolina Honors College will cover a large portion of the associated costs for the students attending the trip. You may incur some costs associated with this travel, in addition to the program fee. This could include some meals, local transportation (Uber/Lyft, public transit), and travel to/from the airport for flights. If you have time conflicts or do not want to attend the trip, you should drop the course before the first day of class.

Students are required to notify the course instructor of their inability to attend the trip due to illness or emergency, and documentation must be provided for the absence. If students fail to attend the trip, and they do not notify the instructor of their inability to attend in advance or provide documentation for their absence, they will be eligible for a grade deduction.

Students are expected to conduct themselves in accordance with the Carolinian Creed and local laws while they are traveling with the course.

This payment includes a 2.5% processing fee.
