TO:  UWRF Colleagues



RE:  Off-Campus, 
University-Sanctioned 
Event



FROM:  Tim Buttles, 
Agricultural Education 
Department	



The Agricultural 
Education 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: Friday, 
April 25th from 6 a.m. 
to 10 p.m.



Activity: Wisconsin FFA 
Career Development 
Events held at UW - 
Madison



Academic Rationale for 
Absence: These students 
will be learning the 
procedures used to score 
and tabulate results for 
the competitive events 
available to FFA 
members. As future 
agricultural education 
teachers these students 
will be preparing 
students to compete in 
these events. Having a 
clear understanding of 
the scoring process 
makes it easier for 
agricultural education 
teachers to prepare high 
school students to 
compete in these events. 
Assisting with the 
scoring process also 
provides an opportunity 
to network with current 
teachers and other 
agricultural education 
leaders.

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.
