Transfer time between campuses

There are other campuses that students may attend (WLU, PHARM, ARCH).  Each campus gets a 30 minute transfer time between just in case students are attending classes at these other campuses.  This allows them at least 30 minutes travel time between classes.   You would put UW as the Campus, on of the other places in Buildings, duration of time for travel, and check all that the travel would apply to.
