Honors UGA - Interdisciplinary Field Program

This form is for the safety of the students involved with the Honors UGA-IFP. The questionnaire will be kept confidential and will be reviewed only by the program senior staff. The information provided will be given to others (medical personnel, staff, etc.) only in an emergency situation, or when deemed necessary by the faculty/staff. This form is for your protection, the more complete the form, the better the medical treatment you may receive, if needed.

Also, if you discover at any point before or during the trip that you need to amend this application (i.e. discover you have the hepatitis-B virus), you MUST do so as soon as reasonably possible. Failure to comply with the instructions in this form or disclose any pertinent information may result in your dismissal, without refund!
