Is the student being treated by a physician for an injury, illness, or other medical condition that could impact participation in a field trip or event? *
- Select Option Yes No

Please list any medical condition(s) we should be aware of, that could impact your child's participation in trips and events. (If not applicable, enter "NA.") *

If there are any steps that need to be taken to accommodate the student's medical condition(s), please list them here. (If not applicable, enter "NA.") *

Please list any medication the student will need to have with them during trips and events. (If not applicable, enter "NA.") *

If you need to have a dose of your medication during the trip, please bring it with you to self-administer in the presence of TRIO Talent Search staff.

Please list any food allergies or dietary restrictions the student has. (If not applicable, enter "NA.") *

Pick-up & drop-off instructions will vary for each event.  TRIO ETS will notify students of transportation details via email, Remind 101, and/or the TRIO website.

Please note, we are not allowed to transport any students to or from their homes. Students wishing to take the city bus to or from a TRIO ETS event can request a bus pass from their TRIO ETS advisor.  Otherwise a parent or guardian will be expected to provide transportation for their son/daughter.

If a parent/guardian does not pick their son/daughter up after a trip or activity, and the student doesn’t have another way to get home, we will attempt to contact you via the phone number(s) you provided.  If we are not able to reach you, we will try to reach the emergency contacts you list above.  If we exhaust all other options and still cannot reach you, as a last resort we will contact GVSU Campus Safety Department and the police will assist us with trying to locate you.  

I understand and agree to the transportation policy above. *
- Select Option Yes No

All advising services are provided free of charge. However, optional field trips and activities will sometimes require students to pay a portion of the cost of food, transportation, or activities.

Trip fee / co-pay information will be presented to students prior to each trip via event flyers, email, Remind 101, or the event information on the TRIO ETS website.

For events where a fee or co-pay is required, the student will not be fully registered until their fee is paid.

If a scholarship is needed to cover the fee, this must be communicated with a TRIO Advisor in advance.
