This is a new system we are using for Club Waivers. So even if you were already a member in Fall of 2023 and signed a club waiver, that is now void. Even if you are on boiler link, you won’t be able to join trips without being on Fusion Club.

5. Gear Closet Waiver
Before you can check out any gear please fill out this waiver. This is new for the 23-24 School Year. You will not be allowed to check out gear until you have paid dues and have filled out this waiver.
Optional - Driver Certification
Not required to be in the club, but required if you plan on driving your own vehicle, or someone else’s vehicle on long trips. Each car needs 2 driver certified people. If you are certified, it will make you more likely to be added to a trip roster.
How to be a certified driver for the POC (you don’t even need a car for this!)
Fill out an MVR check via the RM01-R docusign form
You will get an email confirmation once you are an approved driver
