Global Field Trip

Am I Eligible?

Failure to remain in good academic standing can lead to removal from the course, either before or during the course.

Global Field Trips are open to all RISD students as well as Brown University students cross-enrolled in the associated RISD on-campus course.

All participants must have a valid passport (not expiring for 6 months following the end of the travel component of the course) and may be required to apply for an entry visa to participate.

All students interested in applying to a RISD course with Global Field Trip component should attend the course-specific infosession held on campus presenting the opportunity. These are hosted by the sponsoring academic department.

In specific cases, additional items (such as airfare, materials, additional meals, etc) might be included. Please refer to the specific course description for a full outline of course costs.

You are responsible for maintaining your own legal status and applying for your Visa (if applicable). Upon request, RISD Global will provide you with a registration letter in support of your Visa application.

As such, all students are advised not to purchase flights for participation in Global Field Trips until the travel is confirmed, which happens within one week after the final Global Field Trip payment period. Any cost incurred in such situations is the participant’s sole responsibility. In case of cancellation, all payments will be refunded in full.
