Liability Statement

The attorneys at UT-Austin have directed that each individual who participates in an on-site educational program must fill out a Release and Indemnification Agreement form before they will be allowed to participate in the program.

The Release forms, along with other forms needed for visiting groups, are available in Word and Word Pefect format. Please contact the Marine Education Services for complete instructions and to make your reservation.

Individuals who do not fully complete the required form will not be allowed to participate in the scheduled activity.

This includes individuals participating in an on-site dormitory stay, tour, field trip, workshop and /or research vessel cruise. The minor form is to be filled out and signed by the parent or guardian of any participant who is under eighteen years of age. The adult form is to be filled out and signed by each person who is eighteen years of age or older (students, teachers, chaperones, etc.).

It will be the responsibility of each group sponsor to ensure that each participant turns in the fully completed form before visiting UTMSI. The group sponsor upon checking in at UTMSI for their scheduled activity must turn in the completed forms. Please note that each form must be signed and dated by the parent/guardian, and/or by the participant who is eighteen years of age or older. Both forms must also be signed and dated by a witness.
