RE:  Off-Campus, University-Sanctioned Event
FROM:  Beth Rausch DVM MPH
The Animal and Food Sciences 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”): October 27th 12:45pm depart; 6pm arrive
Activity: 	Animal Humane Society, Golden Valley MN
Academic Rationale for Absence: Companion Animal Class field experience.  Humane society (animal care, non-profit management) Tours are not available at either location for the weekend, so these trip must be scheduled on a weekday. To be sensitive to other coursework, I have scheduled the trip as late in the day as possible.  Thank you for your understanding.

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.
