More information about the forms:

1. AGREEMENT AND RELEASE FORM

All students must print and fill out the AGREEMENT AND RELEASE FORM. Once you and/or your parents have filled it out please return it to our office.

2. HANDBOOK AND HANDBOOK AGREEMENT FORM

All students must read the ONLINE HANDBOOK. This handbook is designed to answer questions you may have about the program and to outline your rights and responsibilities. It includes a packing list, the student conduct code and other helpful information. You may want to print out a copy to take with you on the program. Once you have read the handbook, print out the HANDBOOK AGREEMENT FORM, fill it out and return it to our office.

3. INTERNATIONAL STUDENT IDENTITY CARD (ISIC)

We require 2 photographs (see sample above). The International Student Identity Card (ISIC) is essential to certain programs because of the discounts that it allows us to sites and museums all around the world. The ISIC card also carries some insurance benefits. You must print and complete the pdf document linked above and return it to our office as soon as possible. On some tours the cards will be kept by the tour manager, who will distribute the cards to the students at the conclusion of the tour.

It is possible to get discounted flights abroad through student agencies using your ISIC number. We will give you flight information shortly, via e-mail. For any students using student discount agencies, you may need to provide your ISIC number to purchase tickets. Please phone our office for this number, if needed, or if you have further questions regarding this card, however, we can not distribute this number until we have received your completed application. If you are having trouble viewing the form for the ISIC application, please click the hotlink below and get the free copy of Acrobat Reader. A final note: It is never a bad idea to have a couple of extra photos with you while you are traveling in case of emergency. See sample photo above.

4. HEALTH FORM Please fill out and return to our offices.
If you are having trouble viewing the Health Form, please click the hotlink below and get the free copy of Acrobat Reader.
