RCC Instructor Name:
It is the intent of Rogue Community College (RCC) to provide a safe environment for all
students. Underage students require chaperones on overnight field trips or day trips when the
underage student must travel on his/her own. Only parents or legal guardians qualify as
chaperones. The purpose of this Waiver Agreement is to authorize the chaperone to be on an
RCC campus to attend a field trip orientation and to accompany students younger than 18 year
old on day long or overnight field trips. If for any reason, a chaperone is unable to attend a field
trip with the underage student, the student will be ineligible to join the trip and will receive a full
refund of tuition and fees.
This Waiver Agreement must be completed by all chaperones. The form will be initiated by the
field trip instructor at the orientation and signed by the chaperone at the orientation. The
instructor will send the forms to Rogue Central.
Student Chaperones must agree to the following terms and conditions:
Chaperone agrees that he/she is not an employee, volunteer, or agent of RCC, and is not
affiliated with RCC in any way.
Chaperone agrees that the College accepts no responsibility for the actions of the
Chaperone, and agrees to hold RCC, its organization, officers, employees,
Page 2 of 2
representatives, agents and assignees harmless in the event of loss, damage,
destruction or injury to person or property as a result of activities engaged in under this
contract except that arise out of the sole negligence of RCC.
Chaperone agrees that RCC is not responsible for loss or theft of personal property.
Chaperone responsibilities do not end when formal instruction is complete. Chaperones
attend courses designated by RCC as having extended supervisory needs and it is the
duty of the Chaperone to ensure appropriate, ethical and safe behaviors of the underage
student for the duration of the field trip.
Chaperone agrees to adhere to all College policies, procedures, and codes of conduct
and maintain an orderly, safe, and professional learning environment.
Chaperone agrees that his/her role is to supervise and have custody of the student
before and after the instruction portion of the field trip, is not to interfere or help the
student academically, and shall remain neutral in a testing environment.
Chaperone agrees that the field trip instructor has the sole authority to direct the actions
of the underage student during class sessions and will not interfere with or contradict the
instructors direction.
Chaperone will comply with the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and
agree to confidentiality agreement below.

have a legitimate need to know.
