Our goals when booking travel are to be good stewards of our dollars and to ensure travel for our students is safe and timely. If for any reason you need to submit a special travel request, that MUST be done in the travel request form. This will help eliminate change fees or monies lost for booking incorrect travel. Please note that we do our best to be accommodating, however, we will not make special travel arrangements solely based on convenience or personal preference.
