LIABILITY RELEASE, WAIVER, DISCHARGE AND COVENANT NOT TO SUE

This is a legally binding Release, Waiver, Discharge and Covenant Not to Sue (collectively, “Release”), made voluntarily by me, the undersigned Releasor, on my own behalf, and on behalf of my heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives and assigns (hereinafter collectively, “Releasor,” “I” or “me”, which terms shall also include Releasor’s parents or guardian, if Releasor is under 18 years of age) to Keene State College (“KSC”).

As the undersigned Releasor, I fully recognize that there are dangers and risks to which I may be exposed by participating in supervised practice for completion of the program/course requirements. As the undersigned Releasor, I understand the risks of this required academic program. With informed consent, and for valuable consideration received, including assistance provided by KSC, as the undersigned Releasor, I agree to assume and take on myself all of the risks and responsibilities in any way arising from or associated with this activity, and I release KSC and all of its affiliates, divisions, departments and other units, committees and groups, and its and their respective governing boards, officers, directors, principals, trustees, legal representatives, members, owners, employees, agents, administrators, assigns, and contractors (collectively “Releasees”), from any and all claims, demands, suits, judgments, damages, actions and liabilities of every name and nature whatsoever, whenever occurring, whether known or unknown, contingent or fixed, at law or in equity, that I may suffer at any time arising from or in connection with the Activity, including any injury or harm to me, my death, or damage to my property (collectively “Liabilities”), and I agree to, indemnify, and save Releasees harmless from and against any and all Liabilities.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT - STUDENT USE OF PERSONAL VEHICLE

FOR OFF-CAMPUS EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES

Student Transportation

The richness of a Keene State College education may be enhanced through the participation in one or more educational experiences. These experiences are both curricular and co-curricular and may take place on or off campus. Several degree programs include one or more of these experiences as a graduation requirement. Students should check with their advisor and/or department chair to determine if this is a requirement for their major area.

If the experience is to be convened at a remote location, students may be required to provide their own transportation to and from the site. Unless specifically stated, Keene State College and the University System of New Hampshire assume no responsibility for transportation of students to the site of an experience. Students participating in an off-campus educational experience will be responsible for all costs related to travel.

Personal vehicles should be adequately insured for public liability insurance protection. Students are responsible for insuring their own vehicles. Students will not be reimbursed by USNH for collision losses that occur during business use of a personal vehicle. In the event of an accident, the owner's personal insurance provides coverage and the owner is personally responsible for any deductible payable. USNH does not provide any coverage for comprehensive or collision insurance for personal vehicles.

I acknowledge that I have read and understand the student transportation policies and will abide by them.
