RE:  Off-Campus, 
University-Sanctioned 
Event



FROM:  Karen Klyczek, 
Biology Department



The Biology Department 
is sponsoring an off-
campus activity and a 
student in your course 
might miss class time.  
The offices of the 
Provost and the 
Associate Vice 
Chancellor of Academic 
Affairs require that 
students provide this 
notice to you no later 
than one week prior to 
their scheduled activity 
to be in compliance with 
appropriate policies.  
Your consideration in 
allowing them to 
complete course 
assignments and work in 
compliance with these 
university’s policies* 
is appreciated.  Thank 
you for your support and 
cooperation.  Additional 
details are below.

Activity:   41st Annual 
Undergraduate Research 
Symposium in the 
Sciences, St. Mary’s

Academic Rationale for 
Absence: The students 
will be presenting the 
research projects 
carried out in their IOL

courses. This will be an 
opportunity for them to 
organize their 
information, present an 
analysis of their data, 
and discuss their 
interpretations of the 
results with a wide 
variety of scientist, 
enhancing the experience 
they gain from the 
course.

8.2.11 University 
Sponsored Off-campus 
Activities and Field 
Trips: Students will not 
be penalized for missing 
class in order to 
participate in 
University sanctioned 
events. If class 
attendance is a 
requirement, missing a 
class in order to 
participate in a 
University-sanctioned 
event will not be 
counted as an absence. 
Such absences do not 
relieve the students of 
any of their class 
responsibilities (e.g., 
homework, exams, lecture 
notes, etc.). Students 
are responsible for 
completing course 
requirements that are 
due on the dates of 
University-sanctioned 
events per prior 
agreement with the 
instructor. A University-
sanctioned event is 
defined to be any 
extracurricular event
