agree to the following terms and conditions which I understand will constitute a
legally binding Agreement, Release, Liability Waiver, and Assumption of Risk upon my signature.
I understand that a Homestay placement is a placement in a private family home and includes a private room, bathing facilities, and a
place to study. The Homestay family provides necessary household items such as linens and towels. The student's room is
furnished, including a bed/bedding, desk or table, lamp dresser, and closet. In the Homestay with Food Plan, the Homestay family
is responsible for providing food for meals and snacks seven days a week. I may also choose a Homestay without Food Plan, and
agree to purchase, prepare all my own food and clean up afterwards.
I understand that I’m obliged to follow the rules of the Homestay family. All members of the Homestay family will be proficient in
English and will only speak English when I/the student, am present. The primary form of transportation for I/the student is the city
bus; however, the Homestay family may occasionally offer me a ride in their personal vehicles.
I consent to my placement in a Homestay family. Additionally, I understand and agree that there may be modifications in my
Homestay placement. I the student, agree to release the STATE OF WASHINGTON, Community Colleges of Spokane (CCS), the
Homestay families, and their officers, agents, employees, agencies, and departments from any responsibility and liability for changing

advance of the nature and character of the proposed treatment, its anticipated results, possible alternatives, and risks, complications
