FROM:  Sooh-Rhee Ryu,
Political Science and
International Studies

The Department of
Political Science and
International Studies 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: Thursday,
April 3, starting at
7p.m. and continuing
until Sunday, April 6 at
Noon.

Activity: The Global
Politics Club is
participating in the 2014
Arrowhead Model United
Nations conference.

Academic Rationale for
Absence: This year, UWRF
is hosting the 38th
annual Arrowhead Model UN
conference, and it is
critical for the members
of the global politics
club to participate.
Members of the Global
Politics Club have been
actively engaged in
organizing the conference
and will continue to be
involved in all
conference-related
activities.

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.
