Before You Arrive — Fill Out a Waiver

We are very excited to see you for SLO Days this summer very soon! SLO Days is a great opportunity to make connections with new students, campus organizations, and the SLO community in your first experience as a Mustang! 

One of the many amazing activities we have scheduled for you is SLO Nites @ the Rec with Tide Mustang Laundry, which is a fun opportunity to experience our Recreation Center and participate in games and fitness classes – including yoga, Zumba and body combat!

To participate in this activity, every student MUST complete an ASI Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk and Indemnity Agreement. If an admitted student is under 18, they MUST have a parent or guardian sign the waiver BEFORE your session. Admitted students over the age of 18 will sign their own ASI Waiver of Liability, Assumption of Risk and Indemnity Agreement while at SLO Days.
