Program: NEW YORK THEATRE FIELD STUDIES (July 14-20, 2009)

 

1. We understand that participation in this program is entirely voluntary and that any program of travel involves some element of risk.  We agree that in partial consideration of the College’s sponsoring this activity and permitting the student to participate, we will not hold Collin County Community College District, its Trustees, officers, agents or employees liable in damages for injury or loss to person or property the student might sustain while so participating; and we hereby release the College, its Trustees, officers, agents and employees from any liability whatsoever for any personal injury or property damage incident to participation in this program.

 

2. We understand the College reserves the right to make cancellations, changes or substitutions in cases of emergency or changed conditions in the interest of the group and that the program fees may be subject to change.  Should the College cancel this program, full refunds will be made unless the cancellation is due to political, natural, technological or other catastrophes beyond its control.

 

We understand that if the student leaves this program for any reason, program fees will be refunded only according to the Payments and Deposits section of this application form.  In any case, the College can refund only uncommitted, recoverable funds.  To prevent the loss of personal funds in this manner, the student may wish to purchase trip cancellation insurance, when available, from an insurance company or travel agent.

 

3. The student, as a participant in an out of state study program, is a representative of the Collin County Community College District and of Texas.  By signing this agreement, the student pledges to deport himself or herself in a manner that reflects favorably upon both.  Please refer to the Student Code of Conduct, published in the College catalogue and on the College web page www.collin.edu.

 

We understand that participation in this program is considered a privilege, is subject to instructor’s approval, and that the supervisor of this program reserves the right to require the student’s withdrawal from the program at any time following the date of this application for any reason, including deportment and character.

 

Each student enrolled in the New York Theatre Field Studies Program is required to attend a mandatory travel workshop offered by the office of Student Life.  Details regarding this workshop may be acquired by contacting Brad Baker, Chair of Theatre.

 

4. We understand that the College requires that all students be covered by appropriate sickness and accident insurance and that they be financially responsible for all medical expenses.  In addition, we understand that payment for medical expenses customarily will have to be advanced and reimbursement sought later from the insurance carrier.

 

Further, this document certifies that, during the time out of state, _________________________ (name of student/participant) is insured with the ______________________________ (company) under Policy Number ___________________________________, for sickness and accident insurance.  A copy of this insurance policy or medical ID card will be made available to the coordinator of the New York Theatre Field Studies Program for use in medical emergencies while out of state.

 

5. We agree that the College cannot be held responsible in any way for the safety, needs or well-being of any student when he or she is not directly participating in program activities and under the direct supervision of College personnel.

 

6. We grant to the Collin County Community College District, or to any of its representatives, full authority to take any action deemed necessary to protect the student’s health and safety at my expense to include, but not limited to, placing the student under the care of a doctor in a hospital at any place for medical examination and/or treatment, or transport the student home at the student’s expense if such return is deemed necessary after consultation with medical authorities.

 

It is understood that this authorization is given in advance of any specific diagnosis, treatment, or hospital care being required, but it is given to provide authority and power on the part of the College to give specific consent to the diagnosis, treatment (medical or surgical) or hospital care which, in the best interest and judgment of a licensed physician, is deemed advisable.
