Student Field Experience or Service Learning Agreements

General program information.

In June 2010, with collaboration from various colleges, the Agreement form for Field Experience or Service Learning Agreements (SLA) was revised. This updated form was developed to maintain coverage for students and the university, streamline the document format, and meet the needs for both the faculty and university. Any time a student is engaged in an off-campus service learning experience in conjunction with a course for credit, a service learning agreement is needed in order to protect the student and the university.

Professional and General Liability Coverage Summaries

The attached SLA outlines the CSU’s general liability and professional liability insurance programs which cover students engaged in service learning (named “SAFECLIP” and “SPLIP”) and it more accurately details the responsibilities of the university, the community-based organization, and the student.

These forms are required when executing the Service Learning Agreement:


The blank sections of the SLA must be completed by the appropriate person in your department and/or at the Learning Activity Site (LAS). In addition the Learning Activity Site must complete the LAS Questionnaire for each placement. Please ensure all of the fields are completed prior to routing the agreement for signature. Once the appropriate parties at the Learning Activity Site, your department and your Associate Dean have signed, please mail the original agreement to Contract & Procurement Management.

Reminder: In order for the SAFECLIP or SPLIP insurance to cover the students, a fully-signed agreement must be in place; so please ensure that an agreement is executed prior to the start of the service learning experience.

The Best Practices Manual [PDF] outlines the CSU’s recommended processes for establishing a relationship with an outside organization for service learning (See, Managing Risk in Service Learning CSU Web page).

The SDSU campus does not currently have a Service Learning Office or Service Learning Director, so our process is slightly different than that noted in the Best Practices Manual. A flowchart outlining the process of establishing a service learning relationship is outlined on page seventeen.

Each College Associate Dean should be your first point of contact regarding questions in executing the Service Learning Agreement or the Learning Activity Site questionnaire. Please feel free to contact the Contract and Procurement Management Office for procurement related questions.
