Answering the following 6 areas affirmatively indicates my agreement and understanding of the responsibilities I am undertaking as a trip participant. I also personally assume any risks involved in activities outside of the trip program. Submitting this Trip Agreement form online indicates that I have carefully read and agree to the below conditions.

I agree I disagree
2. Liability - Behave in ways that are responsible, mature and representative of the best of North Park University. This means compliance with all applicable state, federal, and international laws as well as the North Park University Student Handbook. This includes the no-alcohol policy during college sponsored events. Ignorance of a law is not an excuse or defense. If your behavior is unacceptable or in violation of this agreement, the trip leaders (in consultation with the trip advisor) may terminate your participation in this trip. Termination means you must find your own way home at your own expense, your lodging and reservations will be canceled, and you will not receive a refund of any of your trip fees. *

I understand that I must complete a health waiver form and a liability waiver in addition to this application. (Waivers will be given to you after you have been accepted to a GP team.) *
Yes No
3. Participation - Initiate and participate in activities that help build community, support learning and allow for personal growth. This may include organizing community meals, leading reflections (i.e., group journals, ecumenical prayer, and discussions), planning games or outings, etc. Stick with the group. Any activities done outside of the structured trip activities are at your own risk. *
I agree I disagree

You will not be eligible to attend the trip unless you have paid/raised the full amount for the trip. *
