The College of Agricultural Science has "school-bus" type buses available for clearly sponsored College classes and activities.

If your unit needs College of Agricultural Sciences buses, first read the BUS GUIDELINES and then return a completed Bus Request form (pdf) via email to the Bus Scheduling Manager.

You have been provided with advance enrollment totals for your courses from Undergraduate Education. These data will be useful in determining your bus scheduling needs.

When scheduling buses, Farm Operations will be using the following criteria to distribute the use of our limited bus resources for instructional purposes in the college.

Consideration will be given to the needs of all units, i.e., the distribution of requests among units as follows:

  • First priority will be given to off campus trips.
  • On campus class trips will then be considered according to distance. Priority given to those further away from the center of campus.
  • Consideration will also be given to the history of student "ridership" in the class.

Please note that charges will be assessed for all bus trips whether on or off campus.

If you have any questions concerning bus scheduling, please contact the  Bus Scheduling Manager
