This is a release of legal rights; review carefully and understand before signing. Please keep a copy for your records.
In consideration and as a condition of The President and Trustees of Williams College (“Williams College”) approving my participation in the above non-Williams College study abroad program (“the Program”), I hereby agree to the following:
1. Understanding of terms of Williams College’s approval:
I understand that the world is in the midst of a global pandemic, and U.S. State Department travel advisories or other governmental guidance or restrictions can change at any time. Travel may become restricted, expensive, or impossible. It may become difficult or impossible for me to leave the host country of my Program. Foreign travel involves a high degree of uncertainty, and the College reserves the right, whether due to a change in State Department warning level, other governmental action, or other health or safety concern, to recommend or require that you leave your Program. In the alternative, you may desire to leave the Program and the College may be unable to assist you.
I HAVE CAREFULLY REVIEWED AND UNDERSTOOD THIS ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND ASSUMPTION OF RISKS AND RELEASE AGREEMENT AND I HEREBY AFFIRM MY AGREEMENT TO ITS TERMS AS A CONDITION OF MY PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM.
I AFFIRM THAT I AM 18 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER.
I AGREE THAT MY ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE SHALL HAVE THE FULL FORCE AND EFFECT OF AN ORIGINAL WET INK SIGNATURE.
