RE:  Off-Campus,
University-Sanctioned Event

FROM:  Dr. Lissa
Schneider-Rebozo,
Undergraduate Research,
Scholarly and Creative
Activity

The Undergraduate
Research, Scholarly and
Creative Activity
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.

Dates & Times: April 10
(at 2:00 p.m.) – April 11
(All day)

Activity: Undergraduates
will present their
research projects
through, posters, visual
displays, performing arts
and oral presentations at
the UW-System Symposium
for Undergraduate
Research and Creative
Activity, located at the
University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee in
Milwaukee, WI.

Academic Rationale for
Absence: UW-System
Symposium for
Undergraduate Research
and Creative Activity is
important to the
student’s professional
development as well as an
opportunity to present
their research and
connect with other
scholars in and out of
their field. UW-System
Symposium is a great
opportunity to showcase
the talents of our
students, and students
from across the
UW-System, by sharing
their research projects.
 At the conference,
students also have the
opportunity to attend
other student research
presentations and listen
to keynote speakers.

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
(e.g., educational field
trips or conferences,
theatrical performances,
intercollegiate athletic
contests, musical
performance or tours,
etc.) as approved by the
Provost and Vice
Chancellor for Academic
Affairs.
