ONLINE 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.
HEALTH FORM Please fill out and return to our offices.
If you are having trouble viewing the Health Form, please click the hotlink and get the free copy of Acrobat Reader.
INTERNATIONAL STUDENT IDENTITY CARD (ISIC) The International Student Identity Card (ISIC) is essential to the program because of the discounts that it allows us to sites and museums all around the world. You must print and complete the pdf document linked above and return it to our office as soon as possible. The cards will be kept by the tour manager, who will then 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. For any students using such agencies, you will 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. 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 and get the free copy of Acrobat Reader.
REQUEST FOR TWO PHOTOS
We need participants to send our office two photographs (about 1 1/2" x 2"). These photos will be used for various IDs and transportation passes. Your photos must be full frontal head shots. Black and white or colored photographs will be accepted. Passport photos will work fine, but they tend to be expensive. For our purposes photo booth pictures or your own photos will be adequate and much cheaper. Please print and sign your name on the back of each photo. Also, 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:
