by participating in the field trip(s)/excursions(s), alternate class site, student organizations and off-campus

I have no medical condition(s), which may jeopardize the health and safety of others or my own.
Furthermore, I commit to disclose, in writing, to the San Luis Obispo County Community College District
information of any medical, physical, or health condition(s) that may affect or jeopardize others or myself
during my participation in a field trip/excursion. I am voluntarily participating in the Activity. I am aware of
the risks associated with traveling to/from and participating in the Activity, which include but are not
limited to physical or psychological injury, pain, suffering, illness, disfigurement, temporary or permanent
disability (including paralysis), economic or emotional loss, and/or death. I understand that these injuries or
outcomes may rise from my own or other’s actions, inaction, or negligence; conditions related to travel; or
condition of the Activity location(s). Nonetheless, I assume all related risks, both known or unknown to me, of
my participation in this Activity, including travel to, from and during the Activity.
I acknowledge that I have been advised regarding the Cuesta College Student Conduct Code (Board

I understand and agree that the sponsoring organization and the District shall have the right to enforce
appropriate standards of conduct, and that they may at any time terminate my participation in the
Activity for failure to maintain these standards. This standard includes remaining abstinent from
alcohol, marijuana and illicit drugs for the duration of the Activity. If my participation is terminated, I
understand that I will be sent back to San Luis Obispo, California at my own expense and with no refund
of any fees or costs.
Unless specifically advised otherwise, I hereby acknowledge and understand that the college is not providing
transportation, and it is my responsibility to arrange for my own transportation to and from the Activity site. If

driving record of the driver, or the condition of the vehicle.
The college is in no way responsible, nor does the District assume liability, for any injury or loss,
whether direct or indirect, which may result from my transportation;
Although the District may assist in coordinating the transportation and/or recommend travel time,
routes, carpooling, or caravanning, recommendation(s) or travel assistance provided is not mandatory

assume of all risks inherent with my participation in the Activity;
Class/field trips will begin and be dismissed at the Activity site.
