Health & Human 
Performance

The Health & Human 
Performance 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.

be scheduled during the 
final exam period or one 
week prior to final 
examinations”):

2014, 7:00am – 5:00pm

Activity: 2014 Midwest 
Health Promotion 
Conference, St. Paul

Health Promotion 
Conference will draw over 
500 health promotion 
professionals 
representing large and 
small businesses, 
municipalities, brokers, 
government offices, 
schools, and health care 
organizations. This 
conference will reinforce 
content taught in PED 
375, Physical Activity 
Behavior, as well as

and job opportunities for 
our students.

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.
