I understand that in the event of accident or injury, personal judgment may be required by College personnel regarding what actions should be taken on my behalf. Nevertheless, I acknowledge that the College

the risks involved, I hereby agree that I am responsible for any resulting personal injury, damage to or loss

permitted during breaks.
I understand that the consequences for breaking these rules may include (1) a warning from the Instructor
