TRIP DEPOSITS

----DEPOSITS FOR ALL 2012 TRIPS MUST BE RECEIVED BY MARCH 1, 2013----

All veterinary student volunteers are required to submit a non-refundable $200 student fee for each trip they will be participating in. Students participating in two consecutive week trips are only required to submit one deposit ($200) for both trips. Non-consecutive trips will require separate deposits. This fee does NOT apply to veterinarians, veterinary technicians/assistants, tech students or non-veterinary volunteers.

This deposit is mandatory and is to prevent students from signing up for trips in which they are not serious about participating and to help defray some of the expense of our student teaching programs. Deposit funds will help cover some of the equipment and supply costs incurred for student volunteers. Note: This is a non-refundable fee - students who drop off of a confirmed roster will not receive a refund.

Please do not send a deposit until
you have received an email confirming your acceptance on the trip.

Once your acceptance has been confirmed, send $200.00 deposit (payable to HSVMA -RAVS) to the following address. Please make note on the check for which trip the deposit is intended and include a note with your name, email address and the trip(s) to which the deposit should be applied..

HSVMA-RAVS Trip Deposit
PO Box 1589
Felton, CA 95018

Please DO NOT send your deposit via registered mail or other services that require a signature as there is not usually anyone available to sign for these.

Once your deposit has been received, you will receive a confirmation notice by email. If you do not receive an email acknowledgement within 3 weeks of submitting your deposit, contact us via email.

After March 1, any students for whom deposits have not been received will be removed from all trip rosters and their positions given to waitlisted volunteers. If you have decided not to participate, please contact us before this date so that we can arrange adequate staffing.
