Dear Pre-College Student,

Welcome to Summer Session at Colorado College! We’re delighted that you’ve decided to join

us this summer and we look forward to meeting you when you arrive on campus. We know that taking

a class at Colorado College this summer will give you the opportunity to challenge yourself academically

and explore college life, as well as to find out if Colorado College and the block plan are right for you.

The following pages should provide you with all of the information you’ll need about our

academic policies, residential policies and the logistics of the Pre-College Program. You will also find a

General Release Waiver and medical form at the back of this packet. Please fill out these forms and

have your parent or guardian sign them before you arrive on campus. You can hand in these forms

during check-in--you do not need to mail them to us before the start of the program. We ask that you

take the time to read this information packet carefully and familiarize yourself with the academic and

residential policies before arriving on campus. If you have any questions about the information in this

packet or anything else related to Summer Session, please don’t hesitate to contact me at 719-389-6098

(office). You can also reach me at Teresa.a.taylor@ColoradoCollege.edu . More information about the

Pre-College Program can be found on our website at www.coloradocollege.edu/offices/ precollege.

We look forward to seeing you this summer,

Teresa Taylor

Logistics

CHECKING IN

Please plan to arrive after 3 p.m. on Sunday, June 16 for Block B and Wednesday, July 10 for Block C. We will have a shuttle service from the Colorado Springs airport, but you do need to let us know your flight information and arrival time at least two days in advance by e-mailing precollege@ColoradoCollege.edu. You will check in at the Bemis Desk (number 37 on the campus map). You are invited to attend a welcome dinner for precollege students on the evening you arrive at 6 p.m. in the Morreale Carriage House on campus (number 21 on the campus map). If you arrive after the welcome dinner, please find representatives from the Summer Session office at Armstrong Hall (number 1 on the campus map) the next morning before your course starts to complete your registration.

TUITION CHARGES

Summer Session tuition invoices will be available online the last week in April. We will also mail one paper copy to the student’s permanent home address. Undergraduates are encouraged to sign up in the online billing site if they have not done so already. Those students just visiting CC for the summer are NOT required to sign up in our online billing site. To sign up, please go to the Student Account webpage and click on the button that states “please click here to create and access your online billing account”. If you have not set up an account, you are a “new user”, so click on the NEW USER tab. Answer the questions and follow the instructions moving forward. During this process, you will create a username and password so you can access this billing site at any time. Please remember your username and password. You can also invite other payers into your online billing site (parent and/or third party) by going to the MY PROFILE tab and clicking “invite other payer”. Follow the easy steps. The process for signing up in the online billing site BEGINS WITH THE STUDENT. Payment for summer courses are accepted starting May 24th. Room and board fees may not be reflected on your invoice, but, will eventually show up on a future billing statement. Our billing and payment schedule for summer session is as follows: Summer Invoices available for those students who have enrolled prior to April 23rd. Bills available online April 25th, payment due May 24th. Summer Block A statements available for those students who have enrolled after April 23rd and prior to May 28th. Bills available online May 29th, payment due June 18th. Summer Block B statements available for those students who have enrolled after May 28th and prior to June 19th. Bills available online June 20th, payment due July 12th. Summer Block C statements available for those students who have enrolled after June 19th and prior to July 13th. Bills available online July 16th, payment due August 3rd. A late fee of 1% is assessed if payment is not made by the due date stated on your bill. Please call the Student Account office with questions at 719-389-6698.

COURSE CANCELLATION OR CHANGES

Please remember that in order to properly cancel your enrollment, you must notify Summer Session in writing by sending a fax or e‐mail to our office. We can NOT change or withdraw (drop) a student from a course over the phone; we must have such requests in writing. If you do not drop your course at least

6

one week in advance, tuition charges will apply. Failure to register does not constitute cancelation of enrollment. If a student withdraws from a course prior to one week before it begins, by formally notifying us in writing, tuition will be refunded (if already paid) or not charged for that course; however, the deposit will not be refunded. A student who withdraws later, but on or before the third day of the block, will be refunded 70 percent of tuition already charged. After the third day of the block, full tuition will be charged. Within the period of one week before the course starts and the third day of the block, students may exchange registration for other courses that carry the same total unit values and are scheduled during the same block with no tuition penalty other than forfeiting any course deposits previously submitted for the dropped course. If a change in courses during this period results in enrollment for fewer units, students will be charged 30 percent of the tuition costs for the number of units dropped and not replaced.

HOUSING

Colorado College residence halls are available for visiting pre‐college students during Blocks B and C. If you haven’t yet applied for housing, you may still do so. The housing application is available on our website. Please mail your application directly to us at Summer Session.

MEAL PLANS AT COLORADO COLLEGE

Pre‐college students who apply for on‐campus housing are required to have a meal plan and this is included in the room and board charge. Other meal plan options are available for commuter students. The meal plan includes 2 meals per day per block and 100 “dining dollars” to use toward our other café options. To order a commuter plan, contact Student Accounts at (719) 389‐6698 or StudentAccounts@ColoradoColorado.edu. You may also purchase a meal plan through student accounts when you arrive. All meal plans are put onto your Gold Card.

CC ID CARDS

The CC ID card is called the “Gold Card.” While here, you’ll need one. It’s free, and will serve as your official ID card—you’ll use it to access residence halls and athletic facilities, as your on‐campus meal card, as a card to check out library materials, and as a way to get discounted tickets to on‐campus events. To get your Gold Card, visit the Gold Card Office on the second floor of Armstrong Hall during registration hours. Students who are living in the residence halls will be taken to the Gold Card office by their Program Assistants upon arrival or on the first morning of the block.

CC BOOKSTORE

Books and other course materials for our Summer Session courses are available from the Colorado College bookstore and can be purchased on the first day of classes. If you wish to order books in advance and have them mailed to you, please go to the Colorado College Bookstore website or call the Bookstore at (719) 389‐6794. Most books will not be available until late spring.

CLASS ASSIGMENTS

Classroom assignments will be posted on the summer session website two weeks before the block begins, and will also be posted outside the Registrar’s Office in Armstrong Hall during registration. Campus maps will be available at registration, but all of our academic buildings are easy to find and within close proximity to Armstrong Hall.

7

COMPUTERS

There are numerous computers that visiting students can use in the residential halls, academic buildings, and Tutt Library. You will be provided with a Colorado College network account while you are on campus. If you are bringing a laptop computer you may register your computer on‐line once you're on campus. More details can be found here on the helpdesk website. Although we have wireless capability, the Help Desk recommends that you bring an ethernet cable for the most reliable and quickest connection. If you have any trouble registering your laptop, or have any other computer related questions, you should contact the Help Desk for assistance at (719) 389‐6449 or HelpDesk@ColoradoCollege.edu.

PRECOLLEGE PROGRAMMING

You will have a chance to connect with our college counselors, faculty, and administrators who will give

you valuable suggestions as you prepare for the college admission process. We offer sessions on

admission, financial aid, and college essay writing. Our program assistants will also provide fun activities

such as hikes, movies, and games. The college also hosts the Summer Arts Festival with music, dance,

and visual art shows.

HOW TO GET TO CC

From the Colorado Springs Airport: Taxi service is available from the airport directly to your check‐in location on campus. Taxi fare will cost between $30‐$35. By Car: Interstate I‐25 is the major highway into Colorado Springs. If you’re driving, get off at Exit #143 (Uintah Street) and come east (away from the mountains) to Cascade Avenue. Turn right onto Cascade and then turn right again at the second driveway, at the Boettcher Health Center. Look for signs that say “Check‐ In.” By Bus: TNM&O bus service comes into the downtown bus terminal in Colorado Springs about one mile from campus. Taxis are available at the terminal.

Academic Policies

The following policies relate to your academic course(s) at Colorado College and explain how to add or drop a course, transfer credits and obtain an official transcript. They also clarify the grading system, our disabilities accommodation policies and the Honor Code. Although you should familiarize yourself with all of these policies, please pay particular attention to the Honor Code because this policy plays a fundamental role in fostering a culture of mutual respect and integrity at Colorado College.

ADDING A COURSE AFTER BLOCK BEGINS

Students may enroll in a course in progress during the first two days of the block. Students should be aware, however, that adding a course after the first day when studying on the block plan can be extremely difficult because of the fast pace and intensity of the Block Plan. Faculty members are not required to make special concessions for students who join a class after the first day. Add/drop forms are available from the registrar’s office. When adding or switching a course after the first day of class, the instructor's signature is required for all courses being changed.

WITHDRAWING FROM A COURSE

Students may withdraw from a course without grade penalty on or before the seventh day of the course by 5 p.m. Colorado College does not record a withdrawal on the transcript; the course is not noted. A "No Credit" grade is recorded on any transcript for students who drop a course after the seventh day of the course. In order to drop a course once it has begun, students must complete an add/drop form, including faculty signatures. Although there is no grade penalty for dropping a course by the seventh day, tuition charges still apply. To see more about financial consequences of withdrawing from a course

visit the tuition and fees page.

UNITS OF ACADEMIC CREDIT

Colorado College grants academic credit based on the Colorado College (CC) unit. Courses have a credit value ranging from .25 CC unit to 2 CC units; CC units may be converted to the semester system on the following basis: 1 CC unit = 4 semester hours. Students from other institutions should remember that this conversion is made at the discretion of the accepting institution.

TRANSFERRING CREDITS

High school students pursuing studies in the Colorado College Summer Session usually have no difficulty transferring earned credits to other undergraduate institutions, assuming that completed work is awarded the notations, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, or C- and that similar courses are offered at those schools. Students intending to transfer credits from Colorado College should ensure that their home institutions will accept a "Pass" notation before electing that option. Before registering, students should discuss the program they plan to take at Colorado College with advisors at their home institutions.

GRADING

The college provides two grading systems for all courses. Students may choose to be graded either by the G-Track which has the following possible grades: A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, and No Credit; or

9

the Pass-Track which has the following grades: S (for grades from A to C-), CR (for D or D+), and NC (for No Credit). Students must choose a grade-track option at the time of course registration. Students have until 5 p.m. of the fourth day of a course to change a grade track.

GRADE REPORTS AND TRANSCRIPTS

Colorado College does not issue grade reports to any student for the Summer Session. Students may check their grade through self-service banner , using your CC ID number and a PIN number, which will be given to all visiting students upon registration on campus. To request an official transcript, download the transcript request form and return it to the Registrar's Office.

INDIVIDUALS WITH DISABILITIES

In compliance with the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act, Colorado College recognizes that qualified students who have diagnosed disabilities are entitled to an equal opportunity to benefit from the educational program of the college. Colorado College is committed to being an exciting place of learning and discovery for all of its students and strives to provide disabled students with equal educational opportunities. The college offers a variety of resources and programs to help students succeed and, in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, Colorado College staff members work closely with students having documented disabilities, requiring ADA accommodations to ensure equal access to the college's programs and facilities. Any student having a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities may seek ADA accommodations to ensure that such disability does not diminish his/her opportunities at the college. Because of the nature of the block plan, it is imperative the academic requests be made well in advance. Please visit the Disabilities Services page and contact Jan Edwards at 719.227.8285 before arriving on campus. Her office is located in the Learning Commons of Tutt Library.

THE HONOR CODE

Enrollment at Colorado College commits each student to observe and uphold the Academic Honor System. The text of the college's Honor Code appears in the student handbook, the Pathfinder. The Honor System requires that all papers and examinations be entirely the work of the student who submits them, except as indicated by appropriate footnotes or when the course instructor has given explicit permission for students to collaborate. Violations during the Summer Session are handled by the dean of students and the director of Summer Session. Students should familiarize themselves with the "Constitution of the Colorado College Honor System" and the "Source Acknowledgment" booklet before beginning academic work. Instructors, residence hall assistants, and the deans are available to assist with any questions or concerns.

Residential Life Policies for High School Students

As with all Colorado College students, high school summer session students are expected to assume responsibility for their conduct, both in the classroom and in their residential environment. However, we recognize the fact that nearly all of the students participating in this program are minors and that the College has an obligation to exercise a greater degree of control over student behavior and activities than would be the case during the academic year. With this in mind, Colorado College has developed special policies for high school students who live on campus during Summer Session. The following policies are to be maintained for the duration of your time in residence at Colorado College. These are the minimum standards – Residential Life and Housing and the Summer Programs Office reserve the right to enact additional expectations for particular programs as appropriate. Any residents who do not follow these policies will face consequences ranging from warning or probation to dismissal from the program. Note: Because the summer session is very short and intense, the effects of policy violations are more severe on the individual and the community. Therefore, students will likely be removed from the program (at their own expense) rather than given educational sanctions. Furthermore, dismissal from the program would likely have to be reported on an admissions application and may affect the student’s admission to Colorado College or other institutions.

SPECIAL RESIDENTIAL POLICIES

1. Curfew and Visitation Hours

To ensure students’ safety at night, all students are required to check in with the Program Assistant (PA) on duty at curfew and remain in the building throughout the night. Curfew is 11:00pm Sunday through Thursday and midnight on Friday and Saturday nights. This policy is taken very seriously; failure to meet curfew will result in a parent phone call and possibly removal from the program. Any exceptions to this rule must be approved by the Summer Programs Manager or Residential Life Coordinator (RLC) at least 24 hours ahead of time. To maintain the privacy of all students, residents may visit in the rooms of other residents until curfew. However, students are only allowed to host non-program visitors in the lounge / lobby area. These visitors must leave the building by 8 p.m.

2. Quiet Hours

Quiet hours are in place to ensure that residents will have an adequate environment in which to study, sleep, socialize, meditate, and relax. In general we ask that all students be considerate of their neighbors’ right to sleep and study in their rooms at all times of the day.

Sunday through Thursday quiet hours begin each night at 10 p.m. and last until 8 a.m. the following day.

On Friday and Saturday nights, quiet hours begin at midnight and last until 9 a.m. the next morning.

3. Alcohol and Drugs

Possession or use of alcohol, illegal drugs, or any other controlled substance is not permitted by any student, regardless of age. This includes drinking or using drugs off campus. Any resident found

11

responsible for dealing, possessing, or using such substances will have their parents / guardian contacted and be sent home at their own expense.

4. Firearms, Explosives, and Weapons

The possession of any weapons, including but not limited to guns, ammunition, pellet guns, air guns, smoke devices, bows and arrows, swords, knives, and fireworks is prohibited because of the potential for personal injury and disruptive impact on the campus community.

5. Leaving Campus

Colorado Springs is a large city, and unfortunately, crimes can occur regularly. While you are here at Colorado College, you are responsible for your personal safety at all times. Therefore, these restrictions are in place regarding traveling off campus:

Students may only go off campus if their parents have signed the optional off campus permission form.

To go off campus, students must inform a staff member (PA, RLC) ahead of time of their intended destination and time of return. Students must return to campus by 10 p.m. unless given permission otherwise.

Students may not go to off campus private residences (houses, apartments, etc.) at any time during the duration of the program unless approved ahead of time by the RLC

Students may not ride in private vehicles at any time unless approved ahead of time by the RLC

Any planned overnight absences from school / campus must receive parental consent and be approved by the RLC at least 48 hours ahead of time. Any absences for emergency reasons should be requested as much in advance as possible.

6. Smoking

There is no smoking in the residence halls. Students who are 18 are allowed to smoke in designated areas outside.

7. Pets

No pets are permitted within the residence halls during the summer housing period. Any animals found against this policy may be taken to the Humane Society. Damages caused by pets will be charged to the student(s) responsible for giving the pet access to the building.

8. Candles and Flammable Materials

The burning of flammable materials, including but not limited to candles and camp stoves, is dangerous and not permitted in the residence halls. In addition, the possession of flammable materials such as gasoline, kerosene, propane, stemo and paint is prohibited.

9. Cars

Students may not bring motorized vehicles to campus unless needed for a documented disability. This includes cars, motorcycles, scooters, etc.

12

STANDARD RESIDENCE HALL POLICIES

The following policies are standard expectations for anyone living in residence at The Colorado College during the summer as well as during the academic year. For a more detailed list of Colorado College policies, please refer to the CC website .

Appliances and Electrical Equipment

All electrical items should be Underwriters Laboratory (UL) approved and in good operating condition. Residents should limit their use of appliances to radios, stereos, personal computers, razors, popcorn poppers, coffee pots, televisions, typewriters, clocks, portable hair dryers and small fans. Electrical blankets, space heaters, sun lamps, heat lamps and torchière style halogen lamps are strictly prohibited. Residence hall rooms are not to be used as kitchens. The following equipment and appliances used to prepare food are fire safety hazards and are therefore prohibited from use in residence hall rooms: hot plates, hot pots, heating coils, broilers, griddles, electric frying pans, large refrigerators, crock pots, toasters, toaster ovens and microwave ovens (except MicroFridges).

Bathrooms/Sinks

Coed bathrooms in residence halls and small houses are not permitted, with the exception of single-person bathrooms. The sinks in bathrooms are not meant to be disposal units for food, sand, mud, or other such products. Students found disposing of inappropriate items like this will be held responsible for any plumbing or cleaning costs and are subject to a minimum $50 life safety fine.

Bicycles, Rollerblades, and Skateboards

Bicycles are to be stored in designated bicycle stands or storage areas outside each residence hall or in student rooms. Bicycles may not be ridden inside buildings or chained to entryways, doors, stairwells, banisters, handicap ramps or other locations on campus that may cause damage, hinder the flow of traffic in or out of campus buildings or violate city fire codes. Campus Safety is instructed to remove bikes that are parked in these areas. They are held by the Campus Safety office, and the owner is issued a fine. To deter theft of a bicycle, it is recommended that it be securely locked. Rollerblades and/or roller skates are not to be used inside buildings because of potential damage to the halls.

Climbing and/or Scaling Walls

Climbing or scaling walls of residence hall buildings is prohibited to protect student safety and privacy. Violators are subject to a minimum $50 fine and disciplinary action.

Emergencies

If an ambulance is needed or in case of fire, dial the city emergency telephone line, 9-911, then notify Campus Safety at (719) 389-6707 immediately. If in a residence hall, alert either the PA or the Residential Life Coordinator. Emergencies occurring off campus that involve Colorado College students should be reported to Campus Safety at (719) 389-6707. In the unlikely event of a bomb threat, call Campus Safety immediately. Try to note the time the call was received and as much information as you can remember about the time the bomb is due to detonate, what kind of a bomb it is, as well as any details about the caller's voice. Whenever tornado-type weather is in the area, local radio and/or television stations will announce an alert. Proceed immediately to the basement of the nearest

13

building. If there is no basement, go to the lowest possible floor and try to get underneath a piece of sturdy furniture until the "all clear" signal.

Fire Safety

The tampering and/or misuse of fire and safety equipment, such as fire alarms, fire extinguishers, smoke alarms, exit signs and any other safety equipment, poses a serious threat to life and property and will result in a fine. Colorado College reserves the right to take disciplinary action through the appropriate College channels and/or local law enforcement agencies. All persons must evacuate the building when the fire alarm is sounded. Failure to do so will result in appropriate disciplinary action.

Hall Sports

Hall sports are strictly forbidden in the residence halls. This includes water fights, pillow fights, skateboarding, playing catch, etc. Residents involved in hall sports are liable for any injuries and can be charged for any damage to the hallway.

Keys

Residents will be issued a key to their room when they check into their residence hall. This key is for their personal use only and should not be loaned to another person. Also, in accordance with College policy, it must not be duplicated. For security reasons, a resident's room will not be unlocked to admit any unauthorized person, including suitemates, who do not live in that room. If a key is lost, the room lock will be changed and new keys issued to protect the security of the room and its belongings. The charge is $25 for a single room and $35 for rooms with more than one occupant. The student(s) responsible for losing the key(s) will be charged.

Laundry

Coin-operated washers and dryers are located on the first floor of Edith Gaylord. Students will have access to the facility with their Gold Card.

Lockouts

If a resident is locked out of his or her room, he or she must go to the residence hall desk where the key was issued. The desk worker will issue a temporary key. This key must be returned to the desk within 30 minutes. If it is not returned within this time, the desk worker will order a lock change for the room.

Maintenance

Report any maintenance problems to the Loomis Front Desk. Due to the volume of requests, please understand that once a maintenance request has been reported, you will not be informed of when the maintenance person will be entering your room. If you are not in your room when he/she arrives, the maintenance person will enter in your absence.

Misuse of Services

Unauthorized entry into or use of college facilities or unauthorized use of College resources is prohibited. Examples include, but are not limited to: entry onto roofs or into maintenance, construction or other restricted areas of buildings; misuse of telephone long distance codes; charging calls to College offices; unauthorized use of College equipment or vehicles. Violations of the above policy could result in disciplinary actions.

14

Personal Property

Colorado College does not insure, and is not responsible for loss or damage from any cause to the personal property of residents, including items placed in storage rooms. It is strongly suggested that residents check the coverage provided through family insurance policies, or purchase private personal property insurance from an insurance company. Property remaining in resident rooms upon termination of the lease immediately becomes the property of the College. The safekeeping of resident property is the responsibility of each individual. Rooms should be locked at all times and valuable property secured. Obtain a 'Valuable Property Form' from the Worner Center Desk or residence hall staff members to keep a record of valuables and their serial numbers.

Roof Access

Persons who gain entrance to any residence hall or house roof, except on sun decks or other areas specifically designated for this use, will be fined a minimum of $25. Repeated infractions will result in disciplinary proceedings.

Security

Any crime and/or suspicious occurrence observed in the Colorado College community should be reported immediately to Campus Safety. Thefts or vandalism should be reported to the Residential Life Coordinator or Program Assistant and Campus Safety.

Security in Residential Buildings

Propping outside doors open encourages intruders to enter and endangers the entire residence hall. If you see a door propped open, remember your safety and that of others and take the initiative to close and lock the door. Individuals found propping doors may be subject to disciplinary action. Residential buildings are on a swipe card system. Giving your ID card to anyone else is a safety threat to the residents of the building/small house and will result in disciplinary action.

Vandalism/Damages

Students are responsible for public areas in all college-owned housing. A charge for damages in a given residence area – including damage to furnishings, windows, etc. – will be distributed among the residents in that area when the individuals responsible for the damage cannot be identified. It is the responsibility of every resident to report vandalism/damage in a timely fashion and to report the person responsible for the damage, if that information is known.

Colorado College Off-Campus Permission Form (Optional)

Students may wish to go off campus for short, unsupervised trips during their free time. In order to do so, the student’s parents/guardians must give blanket approval. It is highly recommended that any time a student travels off campus, they are accompanied by at least one other person, but groups are preferable. Before going off campus, a student must inform a staff member of their intended destination and time of return. This may be done through a sign-out sheet in the residence hall. Inappropriate action while off campus is subject to disciplinary action and may lead to dismissal from the program. While off campus, students may not go to any location where alcohol is served (with the exception of restaurants), and may not enter any private residences.

COLORADO COLLEGE

GENERAL RELEASE AND WAIVER

There are many opportunities for on‐campus and off‐campus study and activities at Colorado College in which students are encouraged to participate. The Colorado College makes every effort to assure that due care and prudence are exercised in these programs. However, the college cannot assume liability beyond its standard liability insurance coverage. Accordingly, we request that each student and, if the student is under 18 years of age, his/her parent or guardian sign this General Release and Waiver. This General Release and Waiver applies to most on‐campus and off‐campus study and activities sponsored by Colorado College, and is effective during the student’s stay or enrollment at Colorado College. This General Release and Waiver does not apply to off‐campus study abroad programs. I, ______________________________________________, (please print) a student in consideration of participation in on‐campus and/or off‐campus study and activities sponsored by Colorado College, to the extent permitted by applicable law, do, for myself, my heirs, and my personal representatives, hereby forever exempt and release the Colorado College, its trustees, officers, faculty, staff, agents, and employees from any and all liability, claims, demands, or causes of action whatsoever arising out of any damage, loss, or injury to me or my property while engaged in such on‐campus or off‐campus study or activities, including but not limited to transportation, housing, and field trips, whether such loss, damage, or injury results from the negligence of the Colorado College, its trustees, officers, faculty, staff, agents, or employees or from some other cause.

COLORADO COLLEGE

AUTHORIZATION FOR MEDICAL CARE OF A MINOR

Parents must complete the following, ONLY if their student is under the age of eighteen (18) (minor). DO NOT

COMPLETE THIS FORM IF YOUR STUDENT IS OVER THE AGE OF 18 AT THE TIME OF THEIR ENROLLMENT.

I (We),__________________________________________________________________________________________________ (Parent or Guardian), the undersigned parent(s) or person(s) having legal custody or being the legal guardian of _______________________________________________________________________________________________________

(minor) born on ___________________________________, do hereby authorize Colorado College to provide:

(Please mark the box that applies.)

� Any routine, elective or urgent (necessary, but non‐emergency) medical care or treatment requested by the above

named minor and determined by a health care provider at the Boettcher Student Health Center at Colorado College, to be necessary for the health, safety or well being of such a minor. Prompt medical treatment will prevent interruption of the academic schedule under the Block Plan. I (We) will be notified as soon as possible after the care has been provided.

� Only emergency transportation, emergency care or treatment and hospital care to the above named minor. I (We)

will be notified as soon as possible after the care has been provided

� Notification to me prior to treatment of any routine, elective or urgent medical care requested by the above

named minor. I (We) am (are) aware that notification may delay treatment for several days.

In giving this consent, I understand that attempts will be made to contact me regarding my minor child's medical condition but certain situations may arise where my minor child requires immediate medical or hospital care. In such situations, I recognize that I may not be able to knowledgeably evaluate and choose among the available alternative treatments of procedures, if any, or to evaluate the risks associated with a particular treatment or procedure or the lack of treatment. In such situations, I authorize a health care provider to exercise his/her professional judgment, assess potential risks and choose the necessary treatment from any available alternatives and to render such care and perform such treatment as he/she in his/her professional judgment determines to be necessary for the health and safety of my minor child. Transportation to another facility such as a hospital may be necessary to provide other services (x‐ray, IV, rehabilitation), but does not always imply the need for emergency care. Please note: Colorado Law allows minors to seek medical care without parental consent for family planning, treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, and substance abuse counseling.
