Following are the trip agreement stipulations. Please answer each of the stipulations.

1. Meetings - Attend all pre-trip, on-site, and post-trip meetings and activities, including the mandatory trip orientation on either October 4^th (Winter Trips) or January 17^th (Spring and Summer trips.)  Exceptions to this may be granted on a case by case basis by the trip leader and only for extenuating circumstances. Please select your response: 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. Please select your response: I agree I disagree

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. Please select your response: I agree I disagree

4. Reorientation – As an individual or with your group, develop and implement a project to educate others about your experience and what you have learned. Projects could include a video, a slide show, a picture display, assisting with recruitment, doing presentations, etc... Please select your response: I agree I disagree

5. Payment – Payment is in three tiers.  Please turn in 10% of your trip costs within 10 days of acceptance.  Another 25% will be due one month after acceptance.  The final 65% is due on the date specified on the trip webpage (usually one week before your trip.)  You will not be eligible to attend the trip unless you have paid/raised the full amount for the trip. Please select your response: I agree I disagree

6. Cancellation – If for some reason you cannot attend the trip, you are still responsible to pay for any costs that have already incurred. Please select your response: I agree I disagree  

Answering the 6 areas above 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 above conditions.
