Rutgers Summer in Paris Program
Form 3
Responsibility Form
Responsibility Statement
It is important that all students participating in a Rutgers Program Abroad, including the Rutgers Summer in Paris
Program, and their parents (if under 18) sign and return the following statement.
I understand that:
1. The participant in the Rutgers Summer in Paris Program is personally responsible for complying with all
regulations and laws of the host educational institutions, resident accommodations and of the host country
itself.
2. The program can assure no protection to the student or his/her family on the occasion of an infringement of
law. The student should be especially aware of the sensitivity of the local authority to the abuse of drugs and
alcohol among its students and their tendency to deal severely with offenders.)
3. If the student's behavior is at any time evaluated as damaging to the welfare of the group or the program as a
whole, Rutgers reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to drop the student from the program.
2. Participation in the Rutgers Summer in Paris Program, as in any study abroad program, obviously involves
travel to and living in a foreign country. Participation in the program involves the normal risks of travel, including
crime, natural disaster, as well as exposure to possibly volatile or uncertain political situations, including
unpredictable acts of violence (often directed at Americans) that have received much public attention over the
last few years. Rutgers can assume no responsibility for the risks inherent in travel and living abroad.
3. The Rutgers Summer in Paris Program accepts no responsibility for personal property which must be insured
separately if so desired and reserves the right to make any changes necessitated by circumstances.
4. It should also be clear that the program does not require permission, but requests notification to the office
of the Director whenever the student intends to be absent for more than 24 hours, in order to ensure the
effective handling of routine or emergency communications.
5. Language Pledge – One of the goals of the Summer in Paris program is to immerse students in the French
language. For this reason, you will be asked to pledge to speak only French during the entire length of the
program.
