______________________________________________________________________________________________ (Name of Program Site) (City/State/Country) Central Washington University itself does not control the way in which learning sites are structured or operate. In granting credit for this cooperative education / internship (herein called the Program), the University affirms that, to the best of its knowledge, the experience is an appropriate curricular option for students in Central’s program of study and worthy of university credit; however, it makes no other assurances, expressed or implied, about any travel and living arrangements the student has made.

Central Washington University does not knowingly approve program opportunities which pose undue risks to their participants. However, any program or travel carries with it potential hazards which are beyond the control of the University, its Board of Trustees, officers, agents or employees. INSURANCE COVERAGEI understand that some internship sites may require that I have sufficient health, accident, and hospitalization insurance to cover me during my Program. I further understand that I am responsible for the costs of such insurance and for any expenses not covered by this insurance, and I recognize that Central Washington University does not have an obligation nor do they provide me with such insurance. I also understand that Central Washington University recommends that I have sufficient health, accident, and hospitalization insurance during my internship experience.

I assume full responsibility for any undisclosed physical or emotional problems that might impair my ability to complete the experience, and I release Central Washington University from any liability for injury to myself or damage to or loss of my possessions.

I understand that Washington State Laws do not allow the University to extend any of it professional or general liability coverage to students, to cover their personal actions or negligence while performing work or volunteering at any Program site. Therefore I accept full legal and financial responsibility for my actions while performing my Program responsibilities, and understand that I am personally liable for any injury or damage which I may cause.

Further, I understand that Central Washington University assumes no liability for injury that I may suffer in the course of my Program, and requires that I be responsible for ascertaining whether my Program site provides Workers Compensation coverage for me.

PERSONAL CONDUCTI understand that the responsibilities and circumstances of an off-campus Program may require a standard of professional etiquette that may differ from that of Central Washington University. Therefore, I indicate my willingness to understand and conform to the professional standards of the Program site. In addition, I am in full understanding that the designated Program site has requirements which I must meet prior to starting at the Program site, and failure to provide such documentation may result in immediate cancellation of my Program experience. I agree to provide all site-required documentation to the Associate Director of Career Services prior to starting my Program. I also further understand that it is important to the success of the present Program, and the continuance of future Programs, that interns observe standards of conduct that would not compromise Central Washington University in the eyes of individuals and organizations with which it has dealings. I acknowledge the responsibility of Central Washington University and its Associate Director of Career Services and the Professor involved in the Program to set rules and interpret conduct for this purpose. I agree that should Central Washington University and its Career Services Associate Director or the Professor of the Program decide that I must be terminated from my Program because of conduct that might bring the Program into disrepute or the Program site into jeopardy, that decision will be final and may result in the loss of academic credit. GENERAL RELEASEI hereby authorize Central Washington University to release a copy of my criminal history background check, excluded- party checks, proof of immunizations, CPR Certification Card, student transcript, and any other documents so required by the Program site or organization in consideration of my placement in their program. I understand that any negative information found on any materials required by the Program site prior to placement may affect my consideration for placement with the Program site. Therefore, I agree to release the University, its officers, agents and employees from any liability associated with my Program placement should any negative information by found and my placement denied by the Program site. I understand that Central Washington University reserves the right to make cancellations, changes or substitutions in cases of emergency or changed conditions or in the general interest of its Programs. It is further expressly agreed that the Program site and use of any and all of its facilities shall be undertaken by me at my own sole risk, and that Central Washington University shall not be liable for any and all claims, demands, injuries, damages, actions, or causes of actions, whatsoever to me, by me, or property arising out of or connected with the Program and with the use of any and all services, or facilities associated with the Program, whether or not sponsored by Central Washington University.
