General Release Form

When Is the General Release Form Used?

The general release template is used in various cases when a person releases to a certain organization some form of responsibility. For example, if a party is held on the territory of a college or university, sometimes every person attending may need to complete the sample. It proves that they themselves are fully responsible for their behavior and are aware of any potential risks, hazards, and dangers. In case a student takes part in some activity not officially held by the university, and it leads to physical injury or property damage, the individual will be fully responsible for it. In addition to that, it is important that the document helps to authorize university workers and volunteers to provide the participant with any medical help and first aid in case it is needed. Thus, being a formality the document still is very useful and obligatory for filing.

How to Complete the General Release Form

Open general release form in PDFfiller's editor and carefully read all items and explanations the template contains because you certify it in the end, agreeing with all items provided above. If the student is older than eighteen, then he/she is filling out the template personally. In any other case, the parent or legal guardian should provide his/her agreement and sign the sample. Let us look at the sample components closer:

The first part is informative. It includes general information about the release and the particular case when it is used.
The fillable part starts with the student's name, the name of the event attended, its location and date.
Next, the participant's signature and the printed name are provided.
At the bottom of the page, additional information for the parent or guardian is provided.
The parent certifies the sample and adds the current date to the document after reading all the terms provided in the template.

Finally, the form is saved and can be either kept in the digital format or printed on paper.

Handy tool...not totally intuitive. I wish it were easier to duplicate forms that have been set up with fillable fields.
