Student Travel Policies

Journey Preparation

For all students who are embarking on University-sponsored travel, please read the Terms & Conditions for Student University Travel.

University-Sponsored Travel

A trip is considered sponsored by the University if any of the statements below are applicable:

  • The trip is organized on behalf of a registered University organization, including, but not limited to: student organizations, religious groups, sport clubs, varsity athletic teams, civic engagement organizations, residential colleges, academic or administrative departments;
  • A University account contributes funds, or money is held and disbursed through a University account;
  • The trip is organized by a University faculty or staff member; or
  • The work will be considered for academic credit.

Service Break Trips

Princeton does not financially support non-departmental service break trips because of its concerns about responsible and effective service, risk management and fiscal responsibility. As a result, the University will not provide funding or sponsorship for students to participate in them.
