AGREEMENT, WAIVER, AND RELEASE
Students must read and complete this Waiver and Release prior to participating in any travel associated
with Muskingum University’s International Programs. I, the undersigned, agree to the following:
(1) I shall indemnify Muskingum University (“University”) and hold harmless its agents and its
employees from all liability, losses, costs, claims, damages, and expenses, including attorney’s fees,
arising or claimed to have arisen out of personal injuries or death, or property damage or loss,
sustained by me as a result of participating in this academic, athletic, or University-supported
activity, however caused, including, without limitation claimed sole, joint, or concurrent negligence,
negligence per se, statutory fault, or strict liability on the part of University employees, other
participants, or third parties. In addition, I shall indemnify the University, its agents and employees
from all liability, losses, costs, claims, damages, and expenses, including attorney’s fees, relating to
claims or injury arising from my own negligence or intentional acts during my participation in this
International Program (including travel to and from any activity sites) and I hereby RELEASE and
forever DISCHARGE the University and its agents and employees from all such liability, loss, costs,
claims, damages, or expenses.
(2) I understand that the employee(s) for the activity are acting in their respective capacities as agents
of the University, not individually, and hereby waive any and all claims I may have or purport to
have against the University or against employee(s) individually including but not limited to any
losses occasioned by any changes in travel plans, weather, strikes, acts of God, force majeure, war,
terrorism, quarantine, criminal activity, or for the failure of any of the companies providing
transportation, lodging, meals, tour services, or other goods or services, as applies to the nature of
this activity, to provide such services on a timely basis or for the failure to provide them at all.
(3) I understand that most, if not all, of the premises, facilities, and/or equipment used as part of the
program(s) are not owned, maintained, or controlled by the University, but rather by the premises
owners. There may be other risks not known to the University and not reasonably foreseeable at
this time. I waive any and all claims I may have or purport to have against the University including,
but not limited to the following: (a) the use and condition of various modes of transportation,
premises, facilities, and equipment; or (b) the inadequacy or unavailability of medical facilities,
treatment, and/or professionals.
(4) Program Modifications/Cancellations.
(A) The University has the right to make cancellations, changes, or substitutions in the course,
agenda, program, assigned employee(s), travel arrangements, or arrangements for other
services, in the event of causes beyond its reasonable control, significantly changed
conditions, or changes in the interests of the group. Such causes may include, but are not
limited to, travel alerts or warnings issued by the U.S. Department of State, suspicion of
terrorist activities, or general health or safety concerns.
Office of International Programs
(B) The University may, but is not required to, advise me of any health or safety concerns of which
it may become aware. It is my responsibility to inquire about safety or health dangers
prevalent at the site of the program activities or which may be encountered in travel to or
from such location, including consulting a physician and/or the Center for Disease Control.
(C) I assume the risk of any quarantine or incarceration while participating in the International
Program. While the University may assist in any reasonable manner
should such a condition exist, being released from any quarantine or incarceration is my
responsibility, and the University bears no liability for any such circumstance.
(5) Financial.
(A) The University may charge a reasonable fee to compensate itself for any significant change in
currency exchange rates or for unanticipated increases in the cost of providing the full services
of the International Program. At the election of the University, it may declare any exchange
rate to be commercially impracticable and may cancel any program at any time without
liability to participants or prospective participants.
(B) I know all deadlines for payment and cancellation. I understand that if I cancel my anticipated
participation in the program after those dates, I will not be entitled to a refund of any money
I have deposited or paid. All cancellations must be submitted in writing to the Director of
International Programs.
(C) If I do not have a current passport, valid within six months of travel, 12 weeks before the start
of the program, the University may cancel my participation in the program, and I will be
refunded according to the program guidelines.
(D) If I am participating in a non-exchange program, I must pay all fees to the host institution or
a third-party provider. I will not pay any fees to Muskingum University during the time I am
enrolled in a non-exchange International Program.
(E) I understand that my financial aid package may change based on the International Program
that I select. I will discuss financial aid with the Director of International Programs.
(6) Personal Property. I am solely responsible for obtaining and keeping safe my personal possessions,
documents, money, travel tickets (as needed), and other property. I hereby WAIVE and RELEASE
the University, and any assigned employee(s) from any and all claims for expenses or losses of any
nature and amount due to my failure to do so.
(7) Medical.
(A) In the event of illness or injury requiring medical care, I hereby authorize the University’s
employee(s) to contact emergency services, if needed, or transport me to an appropriate
medical facility, if requested, and to release health and medical information disclosed on my
Application to Participate in International Programs.
(B) I authorize University employee(s) to notify my emergency contact(s).
(C) I assume both physical risk associated with, and responsibility for the cost of, any medical
treatment. I am responsible for obtaining and keeping in force adequate health insurance
while traveling, which provides coverage for illnesses or injuries I sustain or experience while
abroad; and, more specifically, in the countries where I will be living and/or traveling. By my
signature below, I certify that I have confirmed that my health insurance policy will adequately
cover me while I am outside of the United States. In addition, I agree to provide the University
with written proof of such insurance if it is requested. I understand and agree that I am
financially responsible for my own medical expenses, and that any advance medical payment
made by the University through the employee on my behalf shall be reimbursed to the
University immediately.
(D) I am responsible for obtaining and paying for any immunizations required for travel. I will
provide proof that all required immunizations are up to date to the Director of International
Programs and understand that my travel and program may be canceled if I do not provide
adequate documentation.
(8) Behavioral Expectations.
(A) While participating in an International Program, I am personally responsible for the success
of the program. I will exercise good judgment, respect the rights of others, and abide by the
laws and customs of the host country and any other country that I visit or travel through.
(B) I will adhere to the policies of the host university.
(C) I will review the International Programs Handbook and understand that I remain subject to all
of its provisions, as well as all of Muskingum University’s rules and policies, including, but not
limited to, the Code of Student Conduct, the Gender-Based and Sexual Misconduct Policy, and
all Academic Policies and Procedures from the Muskingum University Catalog.
(D) I understand that violating conduct policies may result in my removal from the International
Program, as well as disciplinary action upon my return to Muskingum University. I am
responsible to pay any expenses incurred because of my actions and/or as the result of my
removal from the International Program.
(9) Academic Expectations. I will participate in all classes and scheduled activities unless I am ill. I will
keep the Registrar or Director of International Programs informed about my academic progress. I
will request a transcript to be sent from the host institution to Muskingum University in a timely
manner.
(10) Applicable Law and Severability. I agree that this Agreement is to be construed under the laws of
the County of Muskingum, State of Ohio, United States of America; and that if any portion of the
Agreement is held invalid, the balance of the Agreement shall, notwithstanding, continue in full
legal force and effect.
I have read and understand this Agreement, Waiver, and Release and agree that it will legally bind me,
my heirs, successors, assigns, personal representatives, and my estate.
