TO:  UWRF Colleagues



RE:  Off-Campus, 
University-Sanctioned 
Event



FROM:  Robin Murray, 
Theatre Arts



The Theatre Arts 
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: Wed April 
30 from noon to 3pm, 
Thursday May 1, from 8am 
to 1pm



Activity: The cast and 
crew of Kwaidan: Strange 
Tales from East Asia, a 
University Theatre play, 
will perform 3 matinees 
for the Meyer Middle 
School 8th graders. We 
will perform one on Wed 
and 2 on Thursday in 
order to get every 8th 
grader a seat.



Academic Rationale for 
Absence: This is an 
ensemble created play, 
with leadership provided 
by Summer Scholar, 
Jeremiah Liend, who has 
written a script based 
upon the devised and 
improvised work of the 
ensemble. He spent the 
summer and fall 
researching Asian ghost 
stories for use in the 
play.

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.
