Texas A&M University-Texarkana
Request for Authorization for University
Sponsored Student Travel

 
 

The role of travel as a very beneficial facet of the overall student learning experience is well documented. Although potential risks associated with student travel exist, they are often outweighed by the dimension that the travel provides both academically and experimentally for the student. Participation in student activities and organizations is a vital way for students to become more involved in experiencing the value of group associations and to enhance their personal, professional, cultural and social growth. Texas A&M University-Texarkana is supportive of student participation in academic or co-curricular activities both on and off campus, but also recognizes that the safety of its students is of utmost importance. Therefore, the information required for this authorization is very important and necessary.

A&M-Texarkana adheres to The Texas A&M University System and the State of Texas travel regulations, therefore, to obtain approval for university sponsored travel of students, a travel coordinator must have the approval of the Dean of the College, the Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Vice President for Student Affairs, and the President. To obtain this the faculty or staff member who will coordinate the trip must submit electronically the appropriate attached application forms:

Each form will be routed to the dean of the designated College. Pending the dean's approval, the form will be printed and routed for final approval by the Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs, Vice President for Student Affairs, and President.

In addition to the documentation provided by the faculty or staff member, each person listed on the Roster of Travelers must submit

In addition, provide copies of all announcements and advertisements of the trip. Please note that:

  • Application for University support of student travel must be processed separately
  • Verification of emergency evacuation insurance for each traveler is required for international travel only
  • Only University employees and currently enrolled students may travel in University vehicles
The Dean of the College will notify the faculty member in writing of the approval/disapproval of the request.
