least two blank pages together.

Once OUCI receives your passport from the Chinese Consulate, we will contact you and ask you to
pick it up from our Norman or Tulsa office, or you can request that it be mailed to you.
Note: If you are American born Chinese, please contact Rex Burnett for additional instructions.
4. International airfare: OUCI will NOT handle the group tickets purchase. Your ticket will be
reserved through a competitive travel agency. Due to the high demand of flights to China, it is very
important that you book your air tickets as soon as possible.
You may use other resources to book your ticket, but your flights must fit our group itinerary.

In consideration of my minor child being permitted to participate in the activities associated with the

Covenant not to Sue (Release) is executed on this ______ day of ___________________, by
__________________________________________________ a minor child and
________________________________________, the parent having legal custody and/or the legal

I know the nature of the events and the minor’s experience and capabilities, and I believe the Minor to

I consent to the Minor’s participation in the Summer Camp Program and hereby accept and assume all
risks and I fully understand and appreciate the dangers, hazards and risks inherent in the Activity, in
the transportation to and from the Activity, and in any activities the minor undertakes as a participant
to the Activity, which could include serious or even mortal injuries and property damage.
Knowing the dangers, hazards and risks of such activities, and in consideration of being permitted to
participate in the Activity, on behalf of myself, my family, heirs and personal representative(s), I, the
undersigned, agree to assume all the risks and responsibilities surrounding the minors participation in
the Activity, the transportation, and in any independent research or activities undertaken as a participant thereto, and in advance release, waive, forever discharge, and covenant not to sue the University
of Oklahoma, its governing board, officers, agents, employees, and any staff acting as chaperones
(hereinafter University), from and against any and all liability for any harm, injury, including, but not
limited to, suffering and death, that may be sustained by said minor or by any property belonging to
minor, whether caused by the negligence or carelessness of the University, or otherwise, while in, on,
upon, or in transit to or from the premises where the Activity, or any participant to the Activity, occurs
or is being conducted.
I understand and agree that University does not have medical personnel available at the location of the
Activity or on the campus. I understand and agree that University is granted permission to authorize
emergency medical treatment, if necessary, and that such action by University shall be subject to the
terms of this Agreement. I understand and agree that University assumes no responsibility for any
injury or damage which might arise out of or in connection with such authorized emergency medical
treatment.
It is my express intent that this release and hold harmless agreement shall bind the members of my
family and spouse, if I am alive, and my estate, family, heirs, administrators, personal representatives,
or assigns, if I am deceased, and shall be deemed as a “Release, Waiver, Discharge and Covenant” not
to sue the above-named University. I further agree to save and hold harmless, indemnify, and defend
University from any claim by me or my family, arising out of the minor’s participation in the Activity.
