1) Make sure the MLBS office knows about, and has approved, your trip well in advance. Please send us the name and dates of your course and a list of all participants

2) All participants (students and instructors) must complete the on-line liability waiver. Click here or use the side bar button to complete the waiver.

3) Instructor must supply copies of any applicable permits. Photocopies or faxes are fine.

4) Courses using vertebrate animals only: Instructor must verify that all course activity will fall within the procedures described in the MLBS Omnibus Course Animal Use Protocol. We will ask that you review appropriate protocol text.

5) Courses using vertebrate animals only: Instructor must supply a brief statement of training / experience (as you might include in a course animal use protocol). Email to enagy@virginia.edu preferred.
