Letter of Participation and Certificate of Completion

of Participation that details their attendance at the program and describes the educational accomplishments
achieved. Letters of Participation can be accessed through the alumni section of our website following the
completion of the program. Students will receive information after completing the program with details on

Press Release (Optional)

You are encouraged to distribute a press release highlighting your program participation to local news media.

Health Information, Medication and the Medical Policy

Our program days will be long and demanding. Program days typically operate from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
and students will be participating in evening group meetings, including on arrival day. Students sometimes
experience minor digestive or respiratory discomfort due to the stress of travel and changes in diet and/
or environment. Should a student become ill during the program and unable to keep up with the scheduled
program activities, they are encouraged to notify a member of the Envision team. The team member will
provide the student with the options available for medical attention. Should a student need to see a medical
professional, they will be taken to an emergency room or urgent care facility. Envision team members are not
licensed to dispense medication or medical advice; however, they are prepared to make sure students receive
the medical attention they need from the appropriate resource.

Scholars should bring proof of insurance such as a photocopy of an insurance card, a letter issued by your
insurance company or a copy of the contract, or any other document which will give the detailed information
on the type and coverage of your insurance.

Please notify our Office of Admissions if special arrangements are required due to an existing medical
condition, allergy or special dietary considerations.

The following guidelines may help you stay healthy while traveling:
• If you take prescription medications, please make sure you have enough to last throughout your
entire trip. Bring a copy of the prescriptions as well as the generic names. Pack all prescription
medications in your carry-on bag. If your prescriptions require refrigeration, please contact our Office
of Admissions to make appropriate arrangements.
• All medications not prescribed and/or not absolutely necessary should not come to Envision. The
program is stocked with standard over the counter medications (i.e., Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen,
Diphenhydramine, Bismuth subsalicylate, triple antibiotic ointment). To comply with the Envision
Medication Management Policy (found on your MyEnvisionExperience.com page) and avoid delays at
customs, always use the original containers for over-the-counter and prescription drugs.
• Antacid, aspirin (or similar), throat lozenges, and anti-diarrheal medicine may be helpful to have while
traveling.
• If you suffer from motion sickness, bring a preventive or a remedy.
• If you wear glasses or contact lenses, bring an extra pair.
• We discourage you from starting any new prescriptions immediately prior to the program.
• We recommend you avoid scheduling major dental work or surgical procedures just before the start of
your program.

Student Safety
The safety and well-being of students during the program is our highest priority. Students are required to stay
on-site throughout the program and wear a name badge at all times. Students will have 24-hour access to
the program management team through the emergency contact numbers provided on the back of their name
badge. Students are instructed to travel in groups of friends or with an Envision team member and attendance
is taken at the beginning of each group meeting. A nightly room check is performed to ensure all students are
in appropriate rooms prior to lights out.

Reminders for Safe Travel

When traveling, it is wise to follow standard security precautions as a means of preventing potential problems.
We suggest the following:
• Photocopy your government-issued ID. If traveling with a passport, photocopy the first few pages
of your passport, including the date and place of issuance. Also photocopy any visas you have, your
credit cards, and your airline ticket. Keep the photocopies with you but carry them separately from the
originals.
• Do not bring any unnecessary valuables with you, as there is always a chance of something happening
to the while traveling.
• Be aware of the possibility of pickpockets and bag snatchers. Do not carry more cash than your
immediate
needs dictate. Use discretion when counting or showing your money in public. We strongly suggest
debit or credit cards. Envision is not responsible for lost or stolen money.
• Remain aware of your surroundings. For your security, all Envision team members, including those at
the airport, wear name badges.

Conclusion of Program
If the person(s) picking you up on departure day changes from information submitted on the Mandatory Travel
Form, please contact us at the Program Helpline at least 48 hours prior to departure day. Any travel changes
must be authorized by the legal guardian, within 48 hours of departure day, via both verbal and written
permission (example: phone and email or phone and text).

At the conclusion of the program, each scholar is required to sign out with the authorized person(s) as listed
on their Mandatory Travel Form. Should travel challenges arise, please call the Program Helpline (number
