RE: Off-Campus, University-Sanctioned Event

FROM: Matthew Ebner, 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.

Dates & Times (“activities should not be scheduled during the final exam period or one week prior to final examinations”): Students will Depart at 9:00 AM on Wednesday, March 11th. Students will return approximately 1:00 PM on Wednesday, March 11th. 

Activity: Field trip to Vertical Endeavors, located in St. Paul, MN

Academic Rationale for Absence: This trip is meant to expand the rock climbing knowledge and skills of the students. Additionally, it will introduce the students to rock climbing opportunities beyond those available at UWRF. This activity cannot be performed on weekends due to the instructors required obligations to the Athletic Department, as well as significantly increased costs associated with the trip on weekends. The period the students will be absent for lines up when class is normally held, so the effect on other classes should be minimal.

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.
